Red Bull Jart

I know, I know....... just another Red Bull plane that" gives you wings"!
So what, I enjoyed building it and the stickers were lying around. The process also taught me the art of spraying and masking! I must have sprayed the three colours six times and taken it down as many. We are just waiting for a strong south westerly!
The plane weighs in at 1150 grams fully loaded and is perfectly balanced. I have given Alain my old one as it has had a tough life. It's been crashed and flown hard and still flies beautifully!
I must just ensure this one lasts so that we can take it along to Hermanus in November!
As Daron would say, YOU HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THESE IN YOUR QUIVER"!

Do I thank him or curse him?

Hi there all. Just joined the blog, thanx Evan. Thanx to Johann, or should I curse him? We went flying today, the conditions were SSW about 35km/h....On our "little" slope, that means.....PERFECT CONDITIONS!! Note the white horses in the background. I flew Johanns Jart...WOW!!...TWO WORDS.......ROLL RATE!!!!Ok, so now I have to get started on mine.

News From Reed at Jart World

JART-LT/LX Moulded Wings!

It's been a long road, but we finally have some decent moulded wings for you LT owners. These are the same wings that will come with the new, all-moulded JART-LX kits.

These wings fit perfectly to your LT fuselage, allowing you to plug-and-play with very little fiddling - just fit your servos and control bits and off you go.

The economy as it is, I'm forced to make smaller orders and sell them out rather than hold a bunch of stuff in inventory. So right now I have 4 white sets of moulded wings left from the original batch. They're all white and go for $145 plus shipping.

Email me at reed@jartworld.com for shipping costs and order details.

Also, we've had a few of the new JART-LX kits come in and they've already sold out. These will come in red, yellow, and white. Please email me your colour preference so I can get an idea of how many to order in the next batch.

Cheers,Reed

Johann & Daron

Finally we have a Jart the way it is supposed to be...... flown on the slope!
The wind was 25-30km South west on Monday and perfect for the Maitlands slope. The slope is not very high and therefore does not generate great lift, but if it blows directly up the face, one gets clean air. Daron was very apprehensive but maintained that the Jart wanted to fly. It is not the easiest plane to launch as there is very little holding space below the wing. I launched it with two hands and with very little adjustment on the elevator, it flew straight out. The plane flies beautifully!
Thanks to everyone for their support and useful advice.


Daron's yellow and black Jart

After getting the plane trimmed out, Daron was having such fun that I decided to join him and launched my more sedate Salto...... It has to be sods law, Five minutes later we had a head on in mid air... What are the chances?

WELL WE ARE BACK IN THE WORKSHOP!

Besides all the mishaps, we've had great fun and the plane really flies beautifully! We'll get the other one ready for it's trails. Lets hope it goes home.

It has been worth the time and trouble and we've learnt so much!
