1: 3.25 scale MG19a Steinadler

Vincent...so many planeurs, so little time...

Harold, yes, that was the 1st flight, even I was surprised that no trim adjustment was required. As we say:'She flew straight from the building board'

[Laurent Beldame]

No trim adjustment ok but a maidem flight can never be a simple routine ...

Congratulations for this achievement...

[Paul ELLIS]

Beautiful Chris, just beautiful

We had our 1st aerotow event of 2009 today at Thatcham, Southern England. The Steinadler flew for the 1st time in public
She is very stable, slow, safe and realistic...I cannot tell you how happy I am!

[Paul ELLIS]

Congratulations Chris

BTW Are you shrinking?

[cw]

CEM, I used Vincent's excellent plans for reference, but I produced no plans of my own...

Jean-Claude, bon chance avec le C25

Paul, aren't you supposed to shrink as you get older?

This week I flew the Steinadler on the slope for the first time. It was on an evening after work in the sunset...beautiful! I was on my own, so I had to do the film and photography myself. In all the filmed flying sequences and the photographs the model is in free-flight mode and as you can see, very stable in flight.

Dear Chris,

I have seen a lot of videos of model sailplanes on the Web, but this is probably the most impressive.
Your film shows exactly what we feel when we have the chance to fly in ideally conditions.
Looking at your superb flight, with excellent music, I had nearly tears in my eyes.

Thanks for sharing with us this beautiful moments.

Harold

I had this message from YouTube today:

The "real" mg 19 from schwaz crashed today

Anyone know about this...?

[Anonyme]

Quite a nice video, what a graceful sailplane

[Stephan]

[cw]

It seems she was blown over by the 'Fohn' due to a slight pilot error...nobody was hurt...

Hello friends hello Chris
Here the news of the nearly destroyed Musger from Schwaz.
Ich werde besser in Deutsch schreiben und jemand muss es halt dann übersetzen.
Die MG 19 der Schwazer wurde tatsächlich beim in den Hangarräumen am letzten Samstag durch eine Fhönsturmböhe aufgehoben und auf den Rücken geworfen.Personen kamen keine zu Schaden aber das Flugzeug ist so zerstört,dass der Verein im Moment nicht weiss ob sich eine Reparatur noch auszahlt oder das Flugzeug verkauft werden soll.Das Problem ist,man weiss bis jetzt noch nicht,ob die Holme der Tragflächen in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurden und nachdem aber in Tirol niemand mehr Holzflugzeuge richtig reparieren kann und auch sonst nicht mehr viele Leute da sind sie das können wird die Sache ein grosses Problem werden.
Die Leute vom verein suchen jetzt fieberhaft nach einer Lösung,denn im verein fehlt der Platz für eine solche Reparatur,das Werkzeug und natürlich jemand ,der die Sache in die Hand nehmen kann und vom Bundesamt für Zivilluftfahrt aus das auch darf.
Private,die das Flugzeug kaufen würden und selbst reparieren könnten gebe es genug aber der Verein will sein Fagschiff behalten.Mehr weiss ich auch noch nicht aber ich habe die Möglichkeit jederzeit genaue Informationen zu erhalten,da die Piloten der MG 19 bei mir im Modellbauverein fliegen.
