The Sky Taranis TX

My FF9 allows the brake elevator compensation to be adjusted in flight with the elevator trim, I liked this feature and added it to Taranis using a global variable

This is at http://www.gliding.bitrot.co.uk/taranis/brake-trim.htm 

Mike Shellim uses a high channel multiplication to achieve this, a much better mix

Slope soaring

Monday

Tuesday  

Wednesday

A good breeze on Selsley but the wind was on the point and it felt cold, after the mild spell we have had

Thursday  

There was wind and there was lift.
 
It was pretty good, met Ted who had unfortunately left his model at home, but I showed him how to 'land' at Leckhampton, including out of sight among the trees and a downwind slither onto the grass.
 
The flying was fun though, a couple of full size gliders were also sloping the ridge, but they didn't do loops or rolls or stall turns or other fun stuff.

The kit has been in the house since 1986 when I purchased it in Cincinnati.  My son and I did some assembly on the tail-plane but otherwise it is all untouched.  One or two balsa parts have been cracked in storage.
