The Hangar

Fly harder!
Mentor
Hello to all!
Finally the maiden was last Saturday. With a final weight of 480g, I flew magnificently. :cool::cool::cool:. We tried several hand launchings, all of them perfect. It was a little windy, so we had a little extra help.

We still have to reinforce the central union of the wings, but everything has been a success.
@cdfigueredo congrats on the successful maiden - it looks like it flew great!

Carlos....you will need to experiment with the hook placement. The further forward you move it the less steep the climb. It won't need to go further Back than the CG. Also you need a light weight "flag" or ribbon about 30cm from the ring that goes on the hook.

Thanks Dan. I will take your advice! But will reinforce the wing first.
