Here is my latest build. It is a ZIP33v2 designed by an amazingly talented man in Hawaii. It is a 33 inch pitcheron meaning it has only 2 servos that twist the whole wing to control both pitch and roll. It’s awesome! I will upload some build pictures and the finished article if people are interested… View

    I have had my Blaster 2 wing damaged so am looking for a new replacement wing for a Blaster 2.  Ideally a neon orange 2-piece wing but anything to get her back in the sky would be great.
    Alternatively, do you have […]

    Sorry I didn’t reply to this post for over a year but if you look at flying4nature.com, we have a few pictures. You can also look at zaerotechs own website. They have at least 2 videos on there. He seems to be able to fly it quite gently but in my experience, I have to fly it pretty fast to stay aloft!!

    OK, so in the end I went with a full carbon Taser Unplugged from PCM.  Way more money than the Art Hobby models but beautifully made and incredibly light.

    I am unlikely to do any hi-starts with her as she is so […]

    Indeed, most of them have no spar at all.  The Odyssey seems to be the only one with any kind of spar however I have read a lot on RCGroups about people launching many different ones fine on a medium bungee and […]

    Hi everyone,
     
    I have built a few gliders now (Blaster 2, AlexXXL 2.6 carbon, Zip33v2, Poky 40 DS) and am looking for the next project.
     
    I have my eye on the models from Art Hobby (www.arthobby.eu).  They are […]

    Hi everyone. I’m sorry but my German is not great.
    Using Google Translate, I think that my posting up my website in my profile has upset some people and that is not what I intended so I have removed the link.

      Siggy,

      I can only speak for myself 😉 but yes, people here at Slople are always friendly and so am I. As the founder of Slople, I have to look for spammers though and if someone is posting such a link right after registering, I have to make sure it’s a legit user who will participate with Slople, hopefully bring some content etc.

      For your case,…[Read more]

      Grundsätzlich sehen wir es allerdings natürlich nicht sehr gerne wenn sich ein User anmeldet und als ersten Beitrag gleich einzig einen Link auf seine Homepage postet – und sinnvollerweise würden die Bilder zumindest auch zusätzlich hier bei Slople bei den Hängen gepostet. Aber vielleicht kommt dies ja alles noch? 🙂

        Hallo Slope, mit ein bisschen Geduld werde ich/wir selbstverständlich auch viele unserer Videos, Bilder und Locations hier in Slope einfügen. Wir wollen überhaupt keine Konkurrenz sein, sondern nur unser tolles Hobby mit anderen Kollegen teilen. Ich habe die Website sowieso vor dem Kenntnis der Existenz von Slope aufgebaut und veröffentlicht. Sig…[Read more]
