This could be fun

I came across this a couple of months ago and promptly forgot about it! But it could be the simplest bit of fun both at Cashmoor and at the slopes, and it's a bit quirky too as it doesn't have ailerons, a rudder or an elevator! Okay it has a rudder, but it's not a control surface.





The "Gurke" electric

Its an almost definitely maybe for me - if there is any other interest for a group build

Looks like a good model for windy weather.

I will give it a go aswell

Brian,

They do a none electric version for slope soaring which they say: "has a wide speed range. Whether light slope wind or wind force up to six - "Gurke" is ready to take on any challenge." Slope Gurke

But I'm thinking the electric version would be good for "mini hotlining" at Cashmoor, or just climbing under power and having fun on the way down, it does seems rather agile! And then when we have some decent wind in the right direction take it along to the slopes.

It looks so simple to build, even Chris73 might finish this one if he chooses to build it :evil:

Me finish a build, highly unlikely

How is the Impressivo coming on by the way?

Work in progress, you shouldn't rush these things

Let's not forget the Minus Thermic glider Chris started last year and has never been seen! I know I'm a slow builder, but I usually have something to show for it eventually. Anyway, this probably isn't the model for Chris as it's not a warbird oh and it's electric... Chris and electric motors don't seem to get on.

The only worrying thing for me is that I suspect there will be no jig building potential with the Gurke

I did such an awful job of building the Minus Thermic that I put it in the bin, I dont think building is for me
