Well Fedex lady dropped off my new sailplane at work today. Survived the shipping!!!
Its a really nice ship, the wing is amazing. More to come as I have time.

Still waiting for the Neu motor/gearbox but there is plenty to keep me busy.

Some Assembly required! How many hours to get it to the maiden stage?

With any luck, I will have a box a 1/4 meter shorter here next week. Mine is only coming from Billings Montana.

Re: Valenta Sharon 4.2m electric version
Since I never heard of it, I had to look it up on the build thread here;

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...1284546&page=3

and the powered version here:
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1425176

Very nice!!! What Neu are you powering this with?
Is it something like 6:1 gearbox? That should be a big prop! With 4m it will look tiny anyway. Very impressive machine.

Re: Valenta Sharon 4.2m electric version
Not a whole lot to build on it,but it has a tendency to add up, hopefully it will be ready in a few weeks.

I am putting a Neu 1506 1.5y 6.7:1 in it with RF 15.5x10 blades.

EDIT*I just ordered the 1509 1D as it was in stock. Performance is almost identical its just a bit heavier. Neu motors was waiting for some parts out of country so it could have been a long wait for the 1506 !!

Re: Valenta Sharon 4.2m electric version
I hope you get it all in, just saw the possible post office strike on Tuesday announcement, that just sucks!! Everyone is ordering stuff at this time.
Either way good luck with the build and the maiden.

THX for the heads up Dan, I called them and switched it to Fedex. I owe you 3 minutes on the sticks.

**Edit** Turns out I have a faulty MKS flap servo so looks like my progress will be delayed!! Waahhh.
