RedEagle Kit update.

I's love to see 6 to 10 gliders in the calm warm sky playing follow the leader!

... or maybe 6 to 10 gliders gently following each other around a 500 foot diameter circle.

Fun!

Or combat? Or racing the Piker class course? Or FPV glider racing? Or glider limbo?

My Red Eagle will be an FPV platform. If we can get a bunch in the air together we should get some good air to air video

The Build Class for Monday February 16 is cancelled as its Family Day.
Building Classes resume on March 2nd.

OK, I am looking forward to meeting again on the 2nd of March.
As some of you know I have been somewhat tied to home for the past few months.
So recently to keep myself busy I finished my RedEagle.
I know I asked the experienced builders to stay with the students and not build ahead.
I can't follow my own instructions.

Anyway here is the finished model using a PT-19 theme for the colour inspiration.
I also needed to use up some scraps of covering, some of which is very old and the quality somewhat suspect.

Nice !

Jack,

re:"I can't follow my own instructions."

Stand in front of the mirror and give the guy you are looking at a lecture about following instructions, shrug your shoulders and walk away.

Frank

ps: nice and colourful RedEagle.

What does the lettering on the wing mean?

Papa · February 22, 2015, 07:46:16 PM

"RedEagle" is the name of the design.

TKU = Texting for Thank You.

Your red Eagle looks great, Jack! Nice work.

BTW, no word on the props and spinners yet, but I didn't expect them sooner than a couple of weeks anyway. Maybe we'll have then for next weeks Red Eagle build.

piker · February 26, 2015, 11:38:33 AM

Look what I had delivered to my work today. Enough props and spinners for everyone!

I'll bring them to the class on Monday!

Your welcome Ton,

I like to give credit when credit is due.

Right now we have had some 32 days where it has not gone over 0 degrees C.
Today was -11 with a wind chill of around -20.
We are so looking forward to getting out and flying.

Jack.
