Who's building what for 2018

[bullet007]

Hi,
I do not know if anyone can help, I picked up this glider at my local auction house, am I correct in assuming that it is a Minimoa. It has a 3 metre wing span, covered in nylon and clear dope. It did have air brakes installed at one time but are now covered over. It has had a hard life with the fuselage and wings being repaired many times. Does anyone know which plan it might have been made from as the tail plane is missing and will need to be constructed. I plan to remove all the nylon, check over the structure and recover it with Oracover and get it flying again.

My old year 2000 plans handbook has a 120" Minimoa as an alternative to the 1/4 scale CW plan - it is RM208 and designed by 'R. Banks' You just need to find the FEB 1979 copy of 'Radio Modeller' and you will be sorted!

Alexander Carton from Belgium has scaled up the SSUK Rhonsperber plan to half scale... He now intends to do the same to the MO2a Minimoa plan. Should be quite a sight!

BTW To those whom it may concern, I'm currently drawing/building a standard Minimoa to 1/4 scale, designed with the elderly flyer in mind, such as myself

Great model. That must be lovely to see "live'.

Many thanks Nigel for the information, I did not realise it might be that old.

Hi Chris

Any design changes between this one and other Minimoas built by you?

Thanks

This one features the one-piece gull wing structure I used on the smaller Petrel, Mike...
