GWS P40

God, haven't posted here in a while!
Anyway, a bit of planes in the car world with the latest (well, one of them!) addition to the fleet, with the GWS P40, EPO version.

I have a new airbrush system, and already love it!




All the building photos are here : http://www.gliderireland.net/p40gws.htm

Thanks
And for once, the photos don't do justice to the model and the overall effect of the weathering.

Aaaannnnnndddd done !

First flight made yesterday !

All good, fly like a warbird.
My CG was a bit too much on the tail, so that was a bit touchy, but other than that, all good
Looks really good in the air... So good, that after 10 or 15 minutes, got bored (it's a plane... ) and decided to do full speed low passes...
The last one was slightly lower than the rocks, and I tangented the Planet full speed.
Very nice noise and effect !
And the plane ? Nothing ! You have to love the Elapor !
Just destroyed the cowl (very thin rubbish plastic...) and the prop mount (4 screws destroyed... Told you, full speed ! ).

But the plane, not a scratch, nothing !

So, Overall, a good machine, a bit on the heavy side if you are use to the other GWS products, but that really looks great in flight !

Fixing the cowl, I'll try to have it done for tomorrow (Fly in)
