New project on the horizon
Even though I've not quite finished, my phase 6 sport project with flaps, hoping to be finished soon I've eyed up and committed to my next model.
A Blejzyk Mefisto is it name, some my know the range of models, from the designer and builder Artur Bejzyk from Poland. http://www.blejzyk.pl/en/
They are works of art and receive great ratings, there are many builds over the net to read, Robin A also has one in the club and from speaking to him highly rates it too.
I've chosen this model since I want a range of model for all conditions, even though we've had a hell of a lot of wind this winter, I wanted something for those lighter days.
This model has a 1.9m wing span and only weighs 370gs empty, so hoping to only weigh 750-800grs finished.
The designer produces his range with a chose of different wing sections, I've chosen the S6063 for slope flying, which is slight faster than the other profile on offer HN1033 .
I hope the build goes well and I'll try to report back on it progress when I start.
Please take a look at this YouTube video link, of one in flight and I aspire to be able to fly like this pilot.

ReplyDeleteGood choice Nick, I'm sure you will enjoy the Mefisto its a quality kit and fly's really well. I'm beginning to get the hang of mine with a lot of help from Paul. That's a great video, I had't seen that one, it definitely wasn't me !! Let me know if you need any tips with the build.
