 Best Wishes for the New Year Folks !!! ;D

.....thought I'd end the previous year and start the new one on a 'high' note !

...here's my 60" Blended wing Kfm 2 Glider
"The Flight Of The Bumblebee"

the wing tips and the wing are from a single piece of coro.....bent at right angle using a heat gun. Its finished with a piece of foam sanded to shape and taped on the other side.....quite strong !

The spars are hard wood.....no CF was used in building this plane. An early morning pic while waiting for the fog to clear.

Really liked this build. In flight the model was exceptionally stable and smooth. Really well done Bumblebee  {:)} :thumbsup:

@ Manoj.....no plans, just use the CG calc. If you wish to try, I can post the specs.....and would feel quite flattered if you build and fly one of your own.

@ Gusty Sir....just having way too much fun  :salute:

@ Sanjay Sir....thanks ! since you use a lot of coro, you'd be able to imagine the end result....and its fairly easy to build correctly - the first time.
