Scale Soaring UK

I managed to purchase this glider yesterday. I believe it to be an R1 Gheppio
by Vic Steel but thats as much as I know. Just checking everything over at the
moment but hopefully it will fly soon.

Martin,

It flies very well - just needs a couple of 20mm cannon fitting!

Does look like a jet in flight.

Off out today to Leek to have a go with the Gheppio.

Just a reminder that a plan for the Gheppio is on our website

Mine is nearly 4m think Traplet have the plans.

Finally flew the Gheppio today at Leek and Moorlands. Had a great deal of
help and encouragement from Simon Cocker. First time flight of the model
for me and a first slope soaring such a model. Flew for about half an hour
by which time I was mentally worn out. Landing went well and took the
model home in one piece. Looking forward to doing some more slope flying
now I've been initiated.

Martin.

Properly hooked. I think its an illness.
