EPP mini Jart




The Jart was maidened on Friday at Tamatieberg, Volksrust. It fly beautifully and for sure a keeper. It was instantly my favourite model. At 600g I was not sure if it would go in the light lift, but it climbed out and after some trimming was zooming up and down the slope face. It is not as slippery as I thought it would be and actually can land slower than I envisaged. With more wind I will add ballast.

I resized it to a 1.2m wingspan to fit easily in my cars boot. I cut the wings and fuz on my CNC from EPP. She looks very sexy Hey!

Pity the weather turned to mist and rain on Saturday , so I will have to go back soon.

Cheers

Well done Gert! It looks great. I think we should also try the EPP.... Climate change seems to have affected PE's weather, and we spend more and more time in light wind conditions!
Where on earth is Tamatie Berg? It does not sound like a quick trip from Secunda...
Have fun
