The plan is not published yet. It is not because the plan is secret but no
chance to publish and no one interested in it. The model is the one that I
flew at Akita Jukai Dome for cat4 record. It is 950mm long, 230mm wing,
160mm (ave) stab.
The ceiling of the gym is steel mesh and flat. My model touched to the
ceiling from 6mins till 13mins, very softly.
The rubber is 313mm long, yes, short and thick, 1760 turns wound, 21 turns
backoff, 150 turns left.
VP prop is about 420mm dia. Max 53dig, Min 30dig at 156mmR.
There were TV news program stuff and it will on-air next Friday evening. The
video will be put on Youtube next (or the next) week by the TV station. I
will inform the URL.
Good flying, Aki
