EPP slope racer now SR-1

Next project I hope

Very cool, #2 please!

when I get round to it, just a teaser, something along those lines anyway

Oh yes....I'm on the waiting list please Rich - make sure it has ballast capability

Looks nice that Rich. I reckon it would go well with a decent motor up front

Andy, You're such a Philistine!

Well if you are going to fill it full of ballast, you might as well make the ballast do something useful.....

Andy

True "Andyism" lol

Indeed. I didn't even mention the fact I could be flying it when the wind is not playing ball.....

Is it ready yet, the big blows are a cummin

Just a thought Rich, but make the fin removable/replaceable. It's hard to tell for sure, but I reckon it might need a bit more fin area to be stable in Yaw. You'll be able to tell when flying it, because it will wobble a bit about the Yaw axis if it needs more fin area. It depends how you like your CG position on wings though, if you put the CG back a bit, it will effectively increase the fin area anyway....

Your ability to make things sound less exiting is incredable

Just build one and throw it, job done

He's just jealous, EPP if it hits the deck pick it up & throw again

Hi Rich, where do you intend to get your EPP?

I get it from Germany

I have some epp if anyone wants - let me know what you need I will send you the price for club members

Thanks Rob, I'll get back to you when I know for certain what I need, I'm in the exploritory stage at the mo

Back on track, first wing/fuz set, approx 1100mm wingspan, 500mm fuselage length, 1 x 3mm carbon tube front spar, 1 x 4mm carbon tube centre spar 1 x 4mm x 2mm sub TE spar not sure on material yet, also yet to cut ailerons, about 40mm to 20mm taper. Rudder various types style correx to start may EPP after tests

ahh, looks good but get sanding that fuz round!

M

I actually prefer it square, but then I am a bit odd like that....

Andy

to be fair square would be a damm site easier to cover

M

Getting it neat around the integrated mobile phone holder might be a bit tricky though... Nothing a bit of laminating film can't sort ou tthough


Andy

Nearly there, fit ailerons to wing fix fuz & control rods.

The SR-1

Thats looking coolio! wen you gonna maiden it?
