Hi Guys, as many of you know I have spent quite a lot of time and more moment recently trying to re-invent and improve all of my old models after the theft of the original moulds by S.F. Zhou in China.
So far we have:
Schwing Corsa II 108" (New moulds almost finished)
Stormbird Forza 100" (Test flying very soon)
Firebird 60" (Test flying very soon)
Gremlin II 60" (New moulds almost finished)
Apart from some great aerodynamic improvements, plus some practical assembly changes that have been suggested by many of you, now all of them also have electric versions PLUS the super strong layup WMD version.
So to give a wider choice than ever before, very soon all of my models will be available in S version (Slope sport) WMD version (Super strong slope)or E Version (Electric)
But hold on - I have not spent all my time revamping my original designs, I have also been busy collaborating on some new ones.
The next really exciting project will be the 100' MU32 a purposely designed sailplane by the students of Akaflieg Munchen.
This will be my first scale model with only the wing sections different from the full sized version.
Wayne had mentioned this before, but since then there have been even more new and exciting developments that have come from some close cooperation with other designers.
Intended as a slope sale model, the plane is nevertheless designed for slope aerobatics with a selection of very special aerofoils put together by the famous designer and aerodynamicist Philip Kolb. CAD design has been done but Martin Stobbe who is one of th best CAD engineers I have even known.
This should be a beauty - completely scale, yet fully aerobatic with no compromises.
Cheers,
Doc.
