This sailplane is a kit by Flair, with a pronounced aerobatic line it flies as well as it looks, it's a very predictable airplane and it does all the manoeuvres very well, it flies inverted the same way, I enjoy this plane with strong wind, so we can go from one manoeuvre to the next one without loosing height or speed. Being a kit it has lots of work to do, wings are almost done, but the fuse is another history.

I've built this airplane long ago (1998) but I still remember some details, the most significant was that soon in building I realize the plain would be tail heavy so instead of using the balsa cone nose I decided to build a lead nose, even with this lead nose I had to add some 50 grams in the canopy and around battery. Not much room for everything, but it allows to use standard servos, receiver and battery.

Since one of the more important movements is aileron I used two bal bearing mini servos in the wing, it allows fast movements and the use of twin servos makes possible to apply flap or as Use airbrakes, it helps wile landing in windy days.

Here we can see all airplane parts, main fuselage, canopy and the wing. Canopy is held in place when the wing is screwed on top of fuselage by a single nylon screw that makes a very strong connection between parts, the problem is the necessity of a screwdriver in the field.

Me holding the animal after a few flights, it is in fact a delightful airplane to fly, everyone enjoy it, even the "beginners" like to fly this airplane since is very predictable, fly slow enough to walk around and at the same time achieves high speed that allows all kind of manoeuvres, sometimes it seems like its engine pulling the airplane

In the air, its impossible to show in photographs what it does and how it does those spins, knife edge flying, snap rolls, wing stall and so one.

It's one of my favourite planes and every time I have a chance I go to Sta. Iria hill to relax with it. A part from being a bit tricky to correctly trim there is nothing to point.
