Old Timer.

Post by Max Wright »

Hi Guys

I've been diverted from my Motor Falke to do a restoration on this Old Timer.

Does anyone recognise it or have any information about it, please?

This is as far as I have gone. I'm going to try to fly it before I do any more.

Currently the CG is about 60% back from the leading edge. I'm told that because it has a lifting rear stabiliser, that is normal. Does that sound right?

Cheers

This image has gone in out of order and I don't know how to fix it.

Still trying to fix it. :evil:

Hi Max, an Archangle I think.
CG probably correct, some of those old timers with large tails have the CG at the trailing edge.

There is a link to the plan and an article.

Fantastic! Thanks, Brian. 8-)

Archangel it is!

The CG turned out to be 60% back from the LE.

It's got a servo operated tow release and I've put a small wheel in front of that for protection.

We hand launched it at the club and it glided gently and it rolled to a stop. Perfect!

I'm looking forward to taking it to Tunkalilla slope.

Much appreciated.

Cheers
Max
