Yellow Jacket 2M Competition-F3RES – Sonoran Laser Art
I'm slowly working my way through this kit. It's an F3RudderElevatorSpoiler glider with a 2 meter wingspan that's launched with a high start. It's not an official FAI build yet but it's very popular in the Southwest US and in Europe. Contests are common. The wings come apart and the tails are designed to come off which makes it easy to transport. You can use carbon fiber anywhere in the design except for the front part of the fuselage that houses the "gear". This one has a carbon fibre main spar and a 2mm CF tube for a leading edge. Of course its lazer cut and goes together fairly easily. No jigs or pins required - just weights and clamps to hold down the parts. One of the big proponents of this class of plane is the president of the glider club I'm in so these are common at the field and we've just started "high start Tuesday" where everyone brings out their high start. We usually have 3 going at the same time. These planes are similiar to DLGs in that they will go up on a bunnies fart if you're flying it right. My build below and the build thread on RCGoups.com after that.
