  • Hey nice job with this, I'm surprised that you used a Pw1211 airfoil (usually a flat land based thermal airfoil). How do you think it performed as far as acrobatics (ie rolling on axis without loss of altitude) I like how fast it is, and also support the tail (makes it sal'able). Nice work again, did you build it from foam (hot wire cut) and then glassing with fiberglass/kevlar/ or is it a composite bird...

  • @GreenAce92 Thanks. The pw1211 was created for SAL/thermal stuff, and that's what I'm doing with it. It's very acrobatic given that primary focus. It's composite (25lb foam core) - 1.5mm carbon spars under 1.7 oz kevlar & 2.9 oz carbon - vac bag'd.

  • how heavy is she?

  • 9oz - 4.5 oz/sqft loading
