Weight after the conversion is 5.9kg. Using carbon joiner I can reduce the weight to 5.5kg.

Wow great photos Gorazd

Thank you for posting build details of your electro motor upgrade for Graecalis. Looking forward to flight videos with new power system

Hi guys

I was able to re-maiden the Graecalis yesterday. Everything went well.
The motor set-up proved to be good combo. It gives thrust with 45 degree climb rate.
I will be able to fly this sweeeeet glider even more.

Due to some technical problems with camera my videos are mostly useless.
The sky was dark and grey and camera kept focusing and bluring the model.

Luckily my friend shot a very good chase video with his drone.

Here it is:

Autumn slope soaring at Štatenberg (3 min 55 sec)

Graecalis is definitely a good flyer and 700 Euro special right now is a good deal. I think the power setup is great but I will go for something a little more powerful for my swift 3.2 while trying to keep everything under 7 kg.

Beautiful!

Here is also the promised video:

Graecalis 3.0 - Kebelj 07.12.2017 (3 min 39 sec)

Nice video and flying!

Gorazd, how do you get elevator perfectly aligned? Do you drill alignment hole in tail before or after you install pin in elevator?

Hi Miguel

I first install the pin in the center of elevator. Then I align the elevator as you can see in the below pictures.
When it is aligned I mark the hole on the fuselage.

Regards,

Thanks!

What a great looking and flying plane.
I love the lines of it.
Im looking at starting a project like this myself.
