Hello Uros,
Wonderful job, your paint is really nice!
What did you use to cover the wings (simple oracover?)?

Bonsoir Marc,

c´est vrai qu´ il y a des coffrages plus transparents.

Je prefere "Koverall"

Hello Uros,
You may answer our posts ! We don't want to put the shame on you ! Anyway it will fly great ,that"s the main purpose. If the sun shines bright, you 'll see a liitle the ribs even through oracover on the open parts of the wings I hope you'll enjoy it much. Let us know
best regards Marc

[Rusjan]

I was busy last few days, so.... I know it is not the best solution to use oracover on such "scale" model. It was "on stock" and I just wanted to finish the model asap. That may sound strange but that's how I decided. It won't be 100% scale but I hope I will enjoy flying it regardless to that. If everything goes well I hope there will be some more models done in more scale version ...

[Walter L.]

Hello Uros,

your decision to cover the model this way is completely o.k.!

99,9 % of the people who will see the model will not be able to criticize anything...

It´s a very beautiful scale model and you can be proud of it.

Regards

Anyone is free ! I am quite sure there will be other nice models later in scale version
Will you do the maiden flight on slope or by aerotowing ?

[Rusjan]

[Anonyme]

No doubt, it's a good choice ! On my Minimoa, I had to make a mixing towhook to elevator (6mm down when aerotowing) I also put a lot of diiferential on the ailerons (70% )
I hope the best for you for the first flight

[Rusjan]

Some more work was done today on the fuselage ....

























Minor things should be still done around the canopy and than ...

You chose the old style canopy for the HB 282 and the old style rudder too... Why not...?

[Jürgen]

Uroš,
You very, very magical finish !



Great work !

Jürgen

[Rusjan]

[Rusjan]

Today was the day .... After a few starts I took some lead from the nose, and all I can say it flies like a dream ... Total weight is 8.5 kg. More pictures and video will follow, for now just one that was taken before the start.

Nice take off, nice flight, nice landing, the big rudder is effective and useful, isn't it ?
Congratulations for this maiden flight

Hi Uros,
very beauty take-off, landing, fly, model and music..
Congratulations...!

[Rusjan]

Guys, thanks to you all .... Regarding landing...As our local airport is in phase of rebuilding ( new runway ) there are quite a few piles of soil almost everywhere. That's why we were forced to land with substantial crosswind. Anyway all ended well .....


Regards !
