Status: offline 		Just had maiden flight with my Falcon today at Luffenham, just got the flight in before thick snow came!

Flight went ok, ailerons need to have rates reduced but seeing it was -1deg C and my hands were begining to resemble a block of ice it was not too bad for the first one

Wren 54 started up first time and ran perfect.

Picture of the snow as we were handing back the airfield key to the barracks main security gate.

Alan

ps I'am not that fat just had thermals, two t shirts, artic top, fleece and top coat! had the car window open on way home to cool off!

Status: offline 		Thanks Mike,
as I was flying I could see the sky getting darker and the snow fell minutes after landing. At one point the Falcon blended in with the sky + my fingers were on the point of not moving so I was not too sure which way it was going! Managed to sus out which way it was heading....
I must say thanks to Nigel for pinching his design for the engine mount, at least i changed the colour!

Alan

The add mentions filling with powder but not sure. They are very inexpensive so I figured I'd order a set and see what its about.

Status: offline 		They are on the way. Typically takes about a week or so to get to the states. I had to order some CF cloth anyway so these fit in the allowed weight.

Looking at some other pics it appears the bombs split in half. Will be cool to mix some white and red chalk dust in em!

They also include the bomb portion of the mount so you can make your own bombs or missiles or whatever.

Booms are about 1/2 done with glassing.

Alan,
I will be using a Jet Central Rabbit -91 mm dia. according to the spec sheets, I can do the turbine mounting holes on top of the mounts since I don't know the strap dimensions. End of February not a problem, at your convenience.

thanks

Good choice of turbine for the Falcon. It will make you smile as mine does

Status: offline 		After reading most of this thread......    I just had to go get my very own nitroplanes falcon 120  its bigger than i thought (well only helis so far so anything bigger than my raptor 90 is BIG ).  I got me the white one with USAF and FLY stickers.  I really like it, will for sure do some modifications.   The hindges that come with the kit will be replaced with robart or du-bro also will add more epoxy to formers, some formers were missing epoxy or had very little(cant complain for the price).

Andrea,

Go have a look at what mods I have made to Mario's Falcon. It's upstairs in his shop. You don't need most of the formers, plus you need all the space you can get at the back in order to fit in the largest possible tank in there. As for hinges, I have been flying my Falcon for almost two years on the hinges that came with it with no problems whatsoever. You need to strngthen the landing gear mounts though, heavily, as they will come off with the very first landing. You might also consider replacing those cheap spruce wood rails with aircraft grade plywood ones.

Chris
