#balsa Sheeted Ka6e #elevators are almost complete. They still require fine sanding, which will be done tonight. 👍😜👍 #rcflyernews #rcsportflyer #rcsailplane #rcglider #soaring #aerotowing #slopesoaring #balsawood balsabuilding #scratchbuilding (at Grant County, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzcIfwHoih/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vfa1u3mhpetj

Stuck my GoPro on my glider and sent it flying. Had forgotten how relaxing it is to only use the wind(no motor) as a way to fly. #rcsailplane #rcplane #rcglider

The planes. Ah, the planes...

I have two 3+ meter homebuilt carbon / kevlar composite sailplanes that were competitive circa 2002 in my hands - and have placed -  in the Eastern Soaring League, USA.  They, and all the following stuff, are now in Bristol UK.

The sailplanes are competition grade so you need to be a competent flyer to handle them. Basic competence might include the ability to land upwind in a 20m diameter circle 4 out of every 5 times.

I also have a 2m balsa floater and a park flyer. Please see the photos.

The construction gear includes carbon tubes, one tapered - once intended for a Supra - glass in quantity, about a square meter of fuselage-weight Kevlar, a decent piece of wing-grade carbon fibre, and rather more glass of various light weights.

There's balsa for spar webs, 6061 tube for joiners, two pieces of 2400x600x50 Hiload 60 closed cell foam.

There's a box of servos, 72MHz receivers and a 72MHz Futaba transmitter, throttle controls, a rare earth motor from the early 90's, a typical miscellany some of which still works.

There are two 2-metre(ish) Carbon-Teflon push-rods (8 years in a box and still so sweet it's almost unbearable).

The vacuum stuff includes breather fabric, cotton wick perimeter breather, nylon bag, release film, Mylar, a vacuum gauge.

This package might suit a club that's looking to bulk up an annual jumble sale or auction.

The #servo frames are now glued in place. See how they hold the servo in place as well as provide a support #bearing for the output! 🦅❤️❤️ #rcfn #rcflyernews #rcsf #rcsportflyer #servoframes #rcsailplane #rcglider #soaring #scalesoaring (at RC Flyer News) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpaRzkZHuRX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7ysxna55yk3a

Custom built to sell, Valenta 1/4-scale Libelle, with Carbon D-box and custom paint. This model is ready to fly less receiver, battery and balancing—never flown. It was built only for sale, with high-quality RCSF Elite servos.

Check out our story about making these custom wiring looms. It is fun and relaxing, so think about making your own. 👍🐶👍 #rcsf #rcsportflyer #rcflyernews #rcfn #wiringharness #wiringloom #digitalservos #rcsailplane #giantscalesailplane #standardcirrus #valentamodels (at Moses Lake, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kuop-HaYS/?igshid=h8zhxhbmp6vx

How many #rcpilots still build from scratch or finish their #arfaricraft anymore? It seems mostly it is charge and fly pilots these days. So today we’re finishing our wiring harnesses for the 1/4-scale Libelle #rcsailplane we got a few months ago. Shown are the tools you’ll need for finishing the connector ends. 🔧💡🔧 #rcflyernews #rcfn #rcsportflyer #rcsf #soaring #thermalsoaring #thermals #gliders #sailplanes #aerotowing #aerotow #jetiradio #jetiradiocontrol #glliderflying #gliderpilot #sailplanepilot #crosscountrysoaring #gpsflying #gpssoaring #cumulus# #cumulusclouds #cirrusclouds #lenticularclouds #slopesoaring #mountainsoaring #wavesoaring #weaversairfield @weaversairfield.com (at Moses Lake, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3XWc3KnmRS/?igshid=153qpjp4rwo3i

Check out this Throw Back Thursday, with a picture of a 1/4-scale Jantar-1 from a Wanischek kit. The model sported a 5.5-meter wingspan.

One of the most enjoyable tasks of building a #composite #scale #sailplane is fabricating custom #wiring looms to fit the #airframe perfectly. We scored on these wiring #kits at #amazon. We’ll share a how-to video soon. 🔜👨🏼‍✈️🔜 #rcflyernews #rcsportflyer #rcsailplane #rcglider #rcbuild #servo #giantscale #giantscalesailplane #giantscaleglider #servocontrol #rc #rcairplanes (at Moses Lake, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw0My4eHKiL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ibd1cdk3z9ah

Who loves long, skinny #wings? We #love high-aspect-ratio wings and long #glides from #thermal to thermal.
