Last couple of years I have not done as much R/C stuff,, due to Mini & Kart builds,, plus a ''freak' catastrophic weather event.
First pic. is of a 1.6m '' rare vintage'' Discus Sailplane that I got this last winter from a Buddy in Co.
It was in bad shape when I got it, from being crashed/ ground looped.
I repaired it, & also made the winglets & rudder,, plus a few mods so that it completely breaks down for transport,, plus did all the covering.
Also since I started on it @ the beginning of the horrific Ukraine war,, I decided to make Ukraine tail flags for it, plus a blue & yellow orientation stripe ''under'' the out board right wing, in recognition of the people of Ukraine.
This kit came out of CZ back in the early 90's,, & was designed in Germany.
Am yet waiting for the ideal ''fall'' flying conditions to try it out.
Note: Ailerons were not yet installed in the pics.
2nd is my new QQ Extra 300 - 3D aerobatic electric plane.
It has a state of the art Gyro module in it, to help smooth maneuvers out ect.
This sucker flies on rails !
3rd pic. is of an upgrade landing gear strut I made out of alum. bar stock.
