It was warm with a gentle north breeze. The grass was cut, and the field around had been cut as well.

Alex flew his new (to him; otherwise used) Flex Innovations RV8. It's a big model and flies very well, and can fly incredibly slowly.

Peter flew his big Revolver and his Christen Eagle II.

I flew my PJ50 (semi-scale Gulfstream J650) twin jet, and my Sr. Kadet.

I left at about 2:45pm; I'm sure it'll be busy this evening for training.

What a beauty!!

The instructions call for a slop-free connection between the servos and the elevators. I used a ball-link connector with a z-bend tipped wire.

The rudder is secured with screws and small plates over a carbon tube hinge line.

The tail is finished. It's an elegant design.

Opposite rotating servos are used for the elevators, one in each stabilizer. The servos are screwed onto 3-D printed mounts, and then glued to the servo hatch cover. Some trimming of the mounts was necessary for a proper fit in the servo bays.

I'm enjoying the assembly/construction. It's challenging and new to me (building a 3-D printed model), but it's fun, and it looks like it's going to be a nice model.

 

We will be there regardless of the weather.
It has been very hot lately.  Please bring plenty of cold water.

I am starting a new build.
This one will be a tail drag configuration as it saves weight at the front and leaves room for the battery.
The instructions are backwards (IMHO).  You do not add stiffeners after the fuselage is built    and the wing saddle doublers should be glued to the sides before the fuselage formers are added.   
Although the instructions call for the construction of the wing first, I decided (in my great wisdom    ) to start with the fuselage.
The 2-part tail section is sheet balsa and already glued-up, ready for sanding and covering.
Simpler build than the Robbe Disco Glider.
As for colour scheme, I may not go with the WWI German markings (TBD).

Coming along nicely Michael

Working on the elevator ....

David helped me to understand the placement of parts, since we are using an updated version of elevator control; two servos instead of one. There is a separate PDF of alternate instructions for this.

I glued the stabilizer and elevator halves together, but so far, nothing else is glued.

I had to carefully drill/enlarge the holes in the two-part hinges so the wire (that connects the elevators and stabilizers) would flex freely.

I filed the connecting wire to a smoother point, and heated the tip (held briefly to a soldering iron) so I could slightly open the channels through stabilizers and elevators, because it was too tight to assemble.

In order to assemble the parts, I installed the hinges without glue, so the everything would be easier to adjust and align when pushing the connecting wire through the assembly. I will then carefully remove the wire, and drop a small amount of glue into the hinge recess areas.

There's only a few minutes of work here, but hours of thinking and planning.

Very windy, not a lot of people, very hot!

looks like quite the build hopefully goes well. I've always wanted to try 3d printing myself. maybe one day ill get a printer.
