Well I haven’t forgot about this blog, I just haven’t had anything too interesting to post.
As the winter months come, and I start to build more, I’m sure I’ll have some interesting things to share again.

The Formosa Sloper is now done. It’s just waiting to go down to the shore with me tomorrow on vacation. I’ll maiden it while I’m there.
I’ve also got a video from yesterday. Flew alot.

Almost done. Need to set up linkages, and hinge the surfaces. As you can see the paint melted the canopy some. I’ll be ordering a new one soon, and paint that with actual foam safe paint, rather than spray paint (which I tested on a scrap piece, that didn’t melt…).
Might have a maiden tomorrow at a local lake.

Today I got a GWS Formosa kit in a trade. I’m planning on building it as a slope glider with 3 S3114’s,and a 4 cell 500mah NiCD pack. I’ll be posting the build pictures here. This will be a fun little plane to bring to Altlantic City and get some slope action on the beach.
Stay tuned…

I’ve been wanting to cut some foam wings for little gliders for a while now, and eventually start bagging them. So I decided why not make a foam cutter now? The main frame is 1/4″ spruce, the cross brace is a dowel and the cutting wire is a string from a cello. The power source is a 7 cell NiCD pack, it’s the perfect temperature for nice clean cuts. It’s 2ft long, so I can cut a good amount of things. I made this specifically for HLG 3 piece wings. I’ll eventually make a bigger one for larger wings.

Got the stock sticks powdercoated, and threw in a 2s 2200 lipo.
It’s been rock solid. About 9hrs of flights on it so far, and not one issue. I’ve finally gotten into some more advanced programming. I like the flight mode setup. It’s convienent and easy to do. Another feature i absolutely love is the abilty to calibrate the sticks straight from the TX. That is by far the coolest feature I have seen yet on a TX. I’m also going to order a usb cord soon as well. To store more models onmy computer and to be able to share them. Word is you can also update the TX from their website when they come out with new firmware.
I had gotten the stock charger problem figured out as well. After cycling the battery, it lasted much longer. It charged off the stock charger just fine after that.

Here’s my just finished Spirit. I opted to use 3 hs-55’s instead of standard size servos. I’ve used them onother planes this size and they have held up just fine. I’ve got the 10ch FH-3 receiver in this one. I’m guessing AUW is in the range of 20-25oz. I’m working on a ballast tube, so it will fly better in windy conditions. I placed my servo’s father back than the plans call for because I’m using the hs-55’s. This gives me plenty of room right under the CG for ballast. My hi-start should be here tomorrow according to UPS, so I’ll get to maiden both the Wanderer and the Spirit soon.
