44 A Vern Hunt designed 4m Swift. Mine came out very light at 5.5lbs (Vern’s original was 8lb). I think this restricted the conditions in which it would fly, the thick wing section probably needed the extra weight of the prototype. So the flaps have been a complete success, they allow me to control the speed and glide path of the model, and make hand catches a regular event. All credit to Norm, without whom I’d have been chopping away at my trailing edges for quite some time! This ’wing is certainly one of the best I’ve built, it seems that sometimes you hit an ideal combination of wing section, washout, weight and sweep and get a model which fulfils it’s role perfectly. Now, what to build next…… Web links: Flying the 2m wing before addition of flaps: http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=bHnWQ332eVs Flaps ground test: http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=zX6jMoSagOQ 2 meter wing in-flight flap testing: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=PMhQ8TyYFOM A selection of my ’wings: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=fUzNUR7nVuA Web site detailing some of my wings: http://flyingwinggliders. blogspot.com/ R/C Soaring Digest
