I had a little bit of time to spare today so started sorting out the new FMS MDM-1 Fox 3metre glider.
Just enough room to get around it in the Rumpus Room
It does all pack very nicely back in the supplied box but requires breaking down into its 5 parts to do so. I really don’t like pulling things apart for no good reason so I don’t like that option if there is any other way.
This is the difference in size of the canopies between the 2.32m Fox & the 3m Fox
Before too much assembly (there are only 5 parts anyway, fuselage, tail/rudder assembly, tailplane & two wings) I needed to work out the best way to transport it.
It will fit in bits and if I make some sort of cradle to support it all that needs to be removed are the main wings, the complete tail assembly can be left in place as there is enough length & height in the Outback to fit it (just).
Anyway the Rx & ZOHD Kopilot have been programmed along with the radio & now just waiting for the 3D printer to spit out a small stand for mounting the electronics on. Down in the bottom of the fuselage is too hard to work on.
