The wingspan is about the same as Andrew’s big glider, it’s just that the fuselage is so much bigger.
Another quality production from the Frog Pond Mr Kermit.
I think you managed to catch every mishap of the day, well done.
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 RoomIt 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 FoxBefore 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.
We already have one of those, showed up at the field again today flying “Fly Baby”
Spitting Image, don’t you think !!
That’s NOT BattleAxe Mr Frog, that is Wedgie !! . BattleAxe is a 10R, Wedgie is an IOM. Get it right man, get it right !!
Yes Chris it certainly was a ripper of a day (apart from the smoke haze). You must be taking lessons form the Moose on how to predict great flying days.
A bit of rear facing action from my E-sky Eyas biplane “Li’l Eagle” after lunch today.
Morning flight with the 2.32M MDM-1 Fox glider (FPV Cam)
Afternoon flight (wing Cam this time)
Around the field today
I don’t particularly like selling things either but as I’m no longer working there is not as much disposable income as there once was. Plus I’m running out of storage room so selling a few of the rarely used items solves two problems and allows me to keep experimenting with new builds etc.
Works for me !
I find that while some things will sell on Gumtree (usually in the local area), RC Trader is the best place to sell both planes and boats but you need to be prepared to ship them. Easy if you still have them in the original boxes. You could be sitting on a goldmine Tug !!
