finally got around to maiden the Salto in a small gap in the c weather. spent most of the flights adjusting nose weight. tried with and without winglets- with winglets it seemed to perform better. Spoilers are very effective. Had a new frsky g8xr receiver but had poor signal so this shortened the flights.

Barry thanks for the offline suggestions. The poor signal turns out to be a loose antennae on my tx. a few flights on the slope under the belt and a few more improvements needed.

That's a great job to capture the Salto's shape in wood - well done!

it was enjoyable building it and learned a lot on the way. Tempted to improve and do another. Since have built a Petrel from a short kit which gives good ideas for building. Also changed and improved the canopy. Really needs more air time this year.
