  • We took our rc plane over to Hallet Cove South Australia, Where not only are there some fantastic views, but there is an amazing launch point for some slope soaring.
    I've never done this before, however, thankfully, i was guided by my friend and always amazing flying instructor Simon!
    Such a fantastic afternoon, but i got a bit too ambitious and did too hard a maneuver which ended up breaking the right hand wing.
    Even the designer warned me that she ain't a hotliner!
    Great model still and she will be reprinted and ready to soar again!
    IF you want to try (and probably print it better than i can!) here's the link to the design! she flew amazing, right up until i janked it

    Looks like the carbon snapped?

      The carbon did snap haha! Which is quite a feat in itself maybe my wing print wasn't as good which made the carbon the main load bearing thing? I'm not sure exactly yet, all I know is I pulled pretty hard on the elevator haha

      ​@@locarshobbiesI would say it just needs more carbon. The plastic is so much more flexible than the carbon tube that it doesn't add much to the total strength. In other words, your execution of the print was just fine. If a thicker wall tube can be found that would help, or solid rod even better. The extra weight won't be that much of a problem on the slope, especially with a motor up front.

      Yeah I think I might do the stacked carbon thing where I put a solid rod on the inside (6mm rod under the 8mm) there were some but only on the connection points so yeah definitely, thanks for the suggestions! ☺️☺️☺️
