John Greenfield - Super Greenley

This is a very simple to build model with the fuz made from 0.8mm ply with 3mm ply doublers at the front and 10mm sq balsa longerons and cross pieces at the rear. the tails surfaces are all soft 1/2" sheet balsa and the wings are foam.
The model is very stable but with high control throws is quite aerobatic. The big fat wing gives superb slow flight ability and with the addition of flaps can be landed at walking pace. Fitted with a Zenoah 62 and a minipipe this model will happily tow vintage or glass models up to 20kg

Wingspan 88"

Dave Hoare - Wilga 1:4 scale

This is the 1/4 scale version of the ubuiquitos Frisch Wilga. Now in its tenth year is capable of towing up most of the gliders which visit our aerotows. It spans almost 3 metres and weighs in at 35lbs so it has stability and with its long gangly legs is unmistakeable in the air. Powered by a DA 100, for noise and general towing a 28 by 10 prop seems best. Futaba is the radio link and an Emcotec dual rx/ servo interface is the onboard equipment. Electricity comes from three batteries; two 2.7amp for the Emcotec and one 2.5amp driving the ignition. Krumscheid silencers keep the noise very low.
The model is not the easeist to build build, Alex Frisch leaves a good deal of the construction to the individual builder, but the quality is excellent. Decals were supplied by Tony Wood and the model is loosely based on a Polish glider tug-what else!.
