My Mini Fireworks is about 18 months old now, and is still flying great! It has had a few repairs to the leading edge (spilts easy if you bungle a hand catch), and the aileron servos could do with a new gearset to remove the slightt play that has developed. You do get a bit of flutter on a REALLY hard launch with sloppy gears.
Oh, I bought it from T9 hobbysport in the UK. Cracking customer service :)
I'm going to say that the elevator on the top of the boom was done on purpose, so it can be kept a little bit clear of the sand and rocks that are native to my flying site (the beach!). The real reason though, is that I glued it on upside-down! IT doesn't seem to affect the flight characteristics at all though.
looked at you vid again , and noticed you put the elevator on top of the boom when instructions say to put it under the boom ....Any reason why you did that?
Hi , do you like your mini? how does it fly? I am looking into buying a dlg glider but not sure what to get . I wanted something with ailerons so I'm not sure about the mini FW ...Tell me more about your model. Thanks and nice flying.
