Wow! That's a dramatic looking slope.
ReplyDeleteWhat's that thing sellotaped to the side of the fuselage?
Hi Russell. Because the fuselage is made up of various carbon fibre layers the RX aerial needs to be located outside of the fuselage. These are fins which carry the aerials on both side. Unfortunately these keep coming off so I decided to tape them on. The Bwlch is one of the best places to fly in the country. It comprises of many slopes and you can generally find a slope to fly in most wind directions.
