Maiden Flight today at Devils Dyke.

This is my latest glider using a Neville Mattingly Phoenix 100s g/f fuselage with an obeche veneered foam wing not perfect but my first attempt of hot wire cutting! The wing was originally built to suit the 100s rules (1970`s) so just plain. Have now reduced the dyhedral and turned it into a four servo wing giving it ailerons, flaps, camber and crow! I imagine the  flight performance has been transformed from just a rudder elevator thermal soarer to a fully controlled machine as it has never been flown in it`s original form..   Two more flights were made very successfully had not even thought of trying the motor.
