Zephyrus from down under

Due to the overwhelming lack of interest, this thread will self destruct in 7 days time

I know you have commented Brian, but the build does not seem to have engendered interest with others. I wonder why I bothered

[Peter Balcombe]

I’m sure that we are all watching with interest though Vince.
A lovely piece of work as usual & I look forward to hearing of a successful maiden flight in due course

[B Sharp]

Thank goodness! I thought that you had done the maiden and royally stuffed it.
I (We) look forward to a full report on the maiden flight(s) in due course.

Here's the full size flying over my backyard, lovely looking glider on a sunny day. Sorry photos a bit fuzzy.

Thanks for the photos, they will help me to dream

The wing shape is a work of technical genius. Besides the shape pf the plan view, the wing leading edge rolls downwards towards the tip whilst the wing tip begins to bend upwards. Needless to say, I decided not to replicate this in the model (Scale Police please spare the Rod!!)

Here is a copy of that wings shape and the complicated main spar which had to be produced

Full size Last Saturday at the Beaufort flying club in Australia.

Why do they have so many the same?????????????
