Tim's newly built Moudelbau Traceur EPP slope soarer
Here is the latest model to come off the Tim Hampshire production line. A very smart and elegant Tracuer EPP from Modelbau Joost of Germany. Carved from EPP foam and covered with laminate plastic it looks like strong competition to the Vagabond. I think it will stand up to a lot more punishment than the Vagabond but still only comes in at 600grms.
Hey Paul, you've managed to build yours lighter than mine. Mine is 1lb 11oz. Have you flown it yet? I've only flown mine once in over 20 mph, my other attempts the wind was too light to do any aeros, so mine is a big wind flyer. I shall look forward to seeing some video.
