Absolutely beautiful Chris

What masking tape do you use?

[cw]

Today, the Steinadler is rigged for the 1st time since painting...






Vincent, oui, the paint is sprayed on (That is my profession)

Paul, I use 3M Fine Line tape for masking the trim colours, but it is essential to ensure that the Solartex weave is filled enough with the 1st coats of paint to prevent the trim colour 'bleeding' under the tape...

Pat, I am impatient too, and a little scared

Beautiful Chris, as always!! What a sunny day in England

I wish you the same maiden flight as you did these days with the Minimoa One word more: " Schit " as we say in French
congratulation for this achievement

[de Schaetzen Harold]

As usual, beautiful flight with your Minimoa. Again ideal flying conditions. Typical for early spring?

Looking to the different excellent hills you have in the UK, you are living in the dream area of every glider modeller.

Just for your information, I just received the plans of your Bergfalke II 55. Maybe my next project.

Hi Chris!

Congratulations for this beautiful building!

The flight is, as usual, magnificent.

I want to congratulate you also for the realization of your films, I would like for example. Because the development of your glider is fully realized with several views, in film and photos, as if we should not be amazed, a contemplative music leaves us even more dreamy! In short, in one word: Bravo!

à +, Christian

En Français:

Salut Chris !

Congratulations pour cette superbe construction!

Le vol est, comme d'habitude, magnifique.

Je tiens à te féliciter aussi pour la réalisation de tes films, que je tiens pour exemple. Car, la mise en valeur des tes planeurs est parfaitement réalisée avec plusieurs points de vues, en film et en photos, et comme si nous ne devrions pas assez être ébahis, une musique contemplative nous laisse encore plus rêveur ! Bref, en un mot : Bravo !

à +, Christian

[de Schaetzen Harold]

Very impressive flight Chris.
Was is it really your first flight? Everything seems to be 100% correctly trimmed.
Indeed, you need steel nerves for a very first flight. Specially when you are using a tug. I prefer the slope.
