How did you get it to CG correctly with such a heavy 5000 mah pack ??
I found that even my 2200 pack needed to be as far back as possible to avoid being too nose heavy Steve |

Hi Steve, Because of the fiberglass, the tail was quite heavy. So, 5000 mAh was just fine when installed flush with the front of the battery tray. By the way, I checked the stock motor of the Phoenix yesterday and it seems like (I've no way to take proper measurements) it is stronger than Turnigy 2826. I've added 2 degrees down and 2 degrees right thrust. I'll report on results next week. Cem. |

Does anybody know how to cancel a bid on e-Bay? I put in a bid for a “Cowboy Outfit” and it seems I’m only six minutes away from owning the Australian Labor Government ! |

Sorry Thumpyguy I've been very busy with the DIY Aqvarium stuff..
-had to find my Sample-booklets could not remember the names/codes The "Light" one is called "651 intermediate Cal" -or that works best for planes as you can heat shrink/stretch it a bit. You might even consider at MAT one, as air flows it better than on a super slick surface GLOSS. But anything will do, the thickness does not differ much only how well the stretch/shrink.  and yeah You wish was heard  - 260mm version. |

This is a pretty good thread, Trumpy! I am in the same boat as you, a flat lander and quite honestly I would like to see some more thermal sailplanes here on HK. PS Anthony spoke about that kit you linked, said that the reviews weren't so good :(

Yeah I saw that Nifty
 So looks like the 2000 might get a guernsey for now , with the 2.6 to follow up later maybe ( personally I think HK should send me a 2.6 for an unbiased review ) ..... yeah right LOL |

Trumpy I honestly don't think it should be that hard for HK to standardize a 2.6m platform, maybe even get in some balsa and FG models. I fell hard for the Binary on HK, properly trimmed and launched, the larger version could have been the answer. A quick discus launch, up and out and watch her fly.
I still want Anthony to let me test an HK turbine (I have a sick twisted fantasy of strapping it to the top of my fiberglass ASW-28)
