 Bird watch
Gulls in our field

Not sure what they are, could be common gulls, have a look at http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/families/gulls.aspx 
they are not the big Herring Gulls that steal your chips at the seaside

For Sale The first model is a ready to fly, FMS FOX electric foam glider, which includes all servos, ESC, and motor, and 1800 3S lipo. flown a few times only, flies fine, mildly aerobatic, and thermals also. £105 ovno.

 

The second model, is  Topmodel Cz Fascination, which is a 3.6mtr electric glider, with aileron, and flaps.

It has a very nice epoxy fuselage, and veneer covered foam wings, all to a good standard.

I bought it earlier in the year as ready to fly, just ad motor, ESC, and battery, but on closer inspection, the builder has made an untidy job, so it needs some attention.

The structure is fine, and it does include new servos, and wiring loom and wing bags.

This kit currently costs over 400 euros, I'm asking £210 ovno

There are some very good videos on youtube, just type in Topmodel CZ Fascination maiden flight, for a very good video taken from the model, and from above the model in flight..

The kit has been in the house since 1986 when I purchased it in Cincinnati.  My son and I did some assembly on the tail-plane but otherwise it is all untouched.  One or two balsa parts have been cracked in storage.
