Bigger Stik Build

As most of you know Andrew and I are in the process of building a Bigger Stik 2m wing spanĀ  for the purpose of aerotow. Some progress pictures.

Some more progress; U/C now fitted and final fitting of the wing before they are sprayed.

Model now covered/sprayed and being balanced. Andrew and I are both really chuffed with the result. Had the engine running and happy with the performance so we are nearly ready for a test flight.

14th May 2018

After a long wait for the right conditions the day finally arrived. Took a picture before the test flight in case it didn’t come back in the same condition. It did and we learned a lot about mods that need to be made.
