Default RE: Tailplane failure on a Glens Extra 58"

Hey guys it flies well!

I took it to the field last weekend after fitting a new tailplane from decent wood this time and a slightly lengthened spar. Its finish is better than the first which I was really pleased with.

Anyway back to flying it!! The OS 52SX started first flick, but after a slight tweek with the main needle she ran beautifully (as one would expect for OS) Off to the runway and off she went!! My heart was pounding and my mouth was dry (Just like I feel before playing a mega test piece in the Royal Albert Hall!!) (as you do!!) but it was great.

I had to dial in a bit more expo into the elevator control, but it was great.

Its taken me ages to get it sorted, and most of that time was ooing and aarring over cutting away the original tailplane, but it came out a sinch!!

Well I would still be interested in anyone elses comments or thoughts on these models, and after what I have had to put up with it is still worth buying.

Cheers
George
