New Glider !!! - 1/4 Scale Mosquito


The Hits keep on coming, thanks to good ol' Steve from Melbourne I've aquired a 2nd hand 1/4 scale H-303 Mosquito.

Needs a bit of TLC, but hope to have it complete fairly shortly. It's going to share the hanger next to my CMPro Ventus.
The Mosquito is my first large scale glider being around 4m span, Steve assures me I can launch it on the slope by myself..... we shall see!!


Thanks Steve for all your help with my modelling, it's really appreciated, looking forward to more honey soy chips next trip to Melbourne.

New Plane 2 - Red Bull Edge 540

The second plane I've finished is a Red Bull Edge 540 that I got from ebay as an ARF kit. It's a 1500mm span, power is from an OS FL-70 with 12x8 prop, although I think I may go to a 13 or 14 with lower pitch depending on how well it flys.

New Plane 1 - SebArt Katana

I've finished building two planes, the first is a SebArt Katana S30. Haven't maidened it yet, but looking forward to doing so over the Easter break.

Power is from a Hacker B50L with a 14x7 prop and 3S 2200 lipo.
