Re: JTec Radiowave MX2 2.8m Build log

Further investigation showed that I had also bent the wing tube a bit so back to the trailer for the MX2! I flew the next two known rounds as well as the Unknown with the MX2. I have perhaps a total of 30 flights on the MX2 as opposed to 400+ on the Dalton but the 2.8m MX2 feels very comfortable and flys like a bigger plane. Each round felt better and by the last sequence of the contest I even managed to win the round (beating a well flown Carden Pro as well as a Godfrey based 40%er). Not bad for a fairly unfamiliar airframe. With more practice I'm pretty confident that it could easily hold its own against the bigger competition airframes.

There are a few JTec Radiowave MX2's flying in the TAS this month and I expect some excellent results.

Just a little update for anyone thinking of building this plane for scale aerobatics: do it! I had the opportunity to fly the MX2 in competition recently when my primary plane (42% Dalton ML 300) had some structural issues during the second round. My caller and I didn't see a thing but a judge came up to me after landing and wondered about "the white stuff" that came off the plane!

Hi Cam, sorry I didn't bother to weigh it! I just make sure that it is balanced and go fly Let's face it, when we build these planes ourselves you know it's going to be light!

Gordon, Hi

DO you remember the total weight after the build, dry?

Your wings look great! A friend of mine just picked up a vacuum bagging system and I look forward to borrowing it for future projects
Nice and light!

Hello Gordon, what say you?

I just took the wings out of the bag and weighed them, what do you think of the weight?
