Congrats Chris! She's beautiful!! You didn't put enough pictures of the building
Waiting to see the first flight!

How did you obtain the realistic colour of the covering unless it is secret ??

[de Schaetzen Harold]

Hello Chris,

Again an interesting new project.
In the past you were building fast, now you are building with the same speed as the light.
No detail pictures of the construction?
Scale 1/3, is fine. In understand, limited by the size of your garden.
Expected weight? Still possible to throw alone on the slope?

First flight for next WE?

Regards.

Harold

[MALABAT Michel]

1er flight ?

Messieurs, I did not put up the building pics because it is very much the same as the Steinadler and the Flamingo...

No secret, Marc, it is Antique Solartex

Model is not too heavy at 10kg, should be easy to launch by hand

Here are a few more details: the drop-off wheels were made by my good friend Barry

[Anonyme]

The antique solartex doesn't look too much yellow, you have varnished it?

[cw]

I have used my standard procedure:

1: 2 coats of 2-pack clear lacquer over entire wing

2: Sand surface wet with 800 paper

3: Apply 1 coat of satin lacqeur

4: Mask out open structure areas, flat again, and apply trim colours

Hi Chris
The velocity you have built it is your standard too - 4 months or so???
Did you take a HQ Profile ?? or another one??

[cw]

Yes, Wolfgang, HQ35/15 root-35/12 tip

Today, the temperature briefly rose above freezing! The Rhonsperber has flown
