| My 7th plane "Jive" |
| This is my (home made) mini-wing, Very fast & very very sensitive ..! It's wing is 29.5 inches long, Really fun & can turn on a dollar !! Can still fly in 15km/h winds & is great up close doing figue 8's. I used micro servos to save weight & keep the wing thin. I store it in a briefcase at work for those quiet days..!! (I work 15mins from the slope site on the Beach front.) |
| Just to give you some scale |
| Origional size "Jazz" LEFT .................. |
| ..................Modified Size "Jive" RIGHT |
| Here's a brief set of photos to explain how to cut the foam : |
| Firstly you have to have a delta wing, (Jazz) is a good choice. Measure all dimensions from the LE tips if your going to use the tips, OR from the middle line if you plan to use the middle section. |
| Now cut it, yes i know it's hard but you 'ave to. I used my floor tiles as a guide, (see photo). Cutting them paralell is VERY IMPORTANT. Now hold both tips together, place the tips outermost / shortest side on the floor so they stand up, If their not the same trim the taller one..!! |
| Now treat it exactly like a larger plane (eg Jazz), Glue the new tips together, Mark & cut out the electrics spaces, (The batt. is on the CG & the Rx is in the nose), Tape up as normal & your done. I found that only 15% on my mixer is more than enough. Now hit the slopes (or a lamp-post if your me)...! |
