G'day,
Does anyone have experience with this model?, Would it benefit from having a wing with an airfoil, or does the flat plate wing work?, I have never flown a flat plate wing and I am a bit scheptical as to whether or not it flies Ok,...

Thanks

Is this an electric like a flat foamie pusher? I am unclear on what model this actually is---

Razor,
I have never flown a "Flatboard" wing before, all my wings have had an airfoil shape,...so I am unsure as to whether this will fly ok,..as I am considering making airfoil shape ribs up for it,..here is a scan out of my magazine,...

Hey... that is kinda cute

the only downside is that there is no reference for getting the canopy that they use,.and its an odd shape,...I contacted traplet publications and they can't help....[]

Hi JJ,
Went down to the local library yesterday...and guess what I found:

Model World
August 2005
"free plan" : Mini Kangaroo / article!

Canopy comes from a company called Vortex..

Have a good weekend!

Yeah I read that aswell,... But do you think I can find anything about " Vortex"???,..so I am stumped,....Traplet seem unwilling to help, or to busy,...that may be due to me being in Australia I guess,..

Why don't you shape it yourself with balsa blocks ? Does not look so tricky (I have the mag/plan as well).

http://www.vortex-vacforms.co.uk/ there you go not sure if canopy is listed drop'em an e-mail

Awsome ,..Thank you davej78,..I appreciate it

Its a flat sheet wing and doesn't perform all that well. [:'(] I built one, not impressed flies like a plank, sounds fast but just doesnt cut the mustard

Andy,

which power setup did you use on yours ? The author used a piped Irvine .40 ...

Andy,
can you recomend an airfoil shape I should use???

Thanks
JJ[8D]

hi

can i just ask ... has anyone built and finished the plane yet?
if yes...how did it perform?
how well do you think it would go with the weston uk 50V1?

thanks
jonathan

see post #11.

If he said it was a flat air foil then it whill fly like a pizza box plane...

Since you have the Weston 50 V1 then put it into the Magnum R and have some fun.
