Hi Dave, great model, they look impressive on the ground or in the air, some footage showing a ASW22 one of our members built here. A Teakle fuselage wasn't available at the time so he made his own plug. The video link below starts from when it appears.
He made a BL version, so 6.6m span, (ignore the 6.7 in the video). He did make a very strong wing based on his previous F3B model making experience, it still flexes. I note the bendy/stiff discussion earlier.
Gentlemen, today I did something I haven't done for a very long time, charged my gear in preparation for flight. Woohoo!

Hi folks, sorry for no updates, I will be back on track soon with the build as soon as I can, it's been a weird year eh?

Well hello folks, hope you are all doing good?
I finally had time to begin the final skinning and assembly on the 22.the tips are done,(epoxy bonded balsa and vacuum bagged).I now have to assemble the 40 or so 1/16 x 100mm sheets for the inner panels ,not to mention the colossal vac bag I will need!
I am hoping to be flight ready for the next tow event.(I have toyed with the idea of a electric set up too ,but I think it spoils the beautiful lines so not sure).What are your thought? gents.
Be safe .

Depends how much you want to fly it…….with a FES drive in the nose and tall enough landing gear you can fly when ever you want……if built as a pure sailplane then you can only fly when there’s a tug available.
