Yes, for it's more an airbrake than a strut ! Laughing

The decals arrived today, so this evening I was able to take the first photos.
I couldn't help myself...the wind was not on the slope, but I gave her a little hand launch over the flat, just to make sure she flies.
Duration of first flight: 2.5 seconds Very Happy

What a lovely sailplane ( Ah, ces ailes en mouette !!! )
great Chris! ; 2,5 seconds : the shortest time in gliding history? Laughing

What a pity you are not with us in Vauville ! Confused

It's always funny to be fond of Neil Young ( Heart of Gold:... I'm getting old.)
Indeed, your Spalinger is wonderfull and it's a very beautiful painting art!

Sincerly: Olivier [clap]

Success...! The Spalinger flew today at White Sheet. I was an 'interesting flight' , partly because of the 30+KPH wind, and partly because the Centre of Gravity was a little too far back. Just a short flight, then (more than 2.5 seconds) and no chance for video, but tomorrow is another day... Very Happy

Hello Chris

Thanks for the nice welcome. This would be great adventure! Cool

I think my old RangeRover may be a bit overloaded by such a long trip, but with the new car I seriously think about a holiday in Southern England.
I will let you know, but it will be only in summer/autumn 2012, because this year and the first months of 2012 I'll be in India. [amen]

Good night,
Beat
