VIDEO
theSupernova Squadron LeaderPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : Do you think it has the pulling power for an ASK21 2.6M wingspan
madjeff Group CaptinPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : mmm not sure we can all ways try.think my tow hook would have to be bit more substantial.
madjeff Group CaptinPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : Justin was thinking of given it a try with one of his gliders. the mentor has bags of pulling grunt.
theSupernova Squadron LeaderPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : Ok, it's this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=18041 flying weight of ~1.5kg
theSupernova Squadron LeaderPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : We were thinking of using the supernova as a glider tow a few years ago, could probably do 5 at a time lol. When you give it a go I'll bring the camera and the keycam too.
madjeff Group CaptinPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : thats nice SAM i take it you have this. fibreglass that will be some weight.will find some thing of similar weight and see if the plane will pull it along the floor and get back to you
theSupernova Squadron LeaderPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : I will have to build it then, and wait for a good day
madjeff Group CaptinPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : from my sums it should pull it no problem if you are saying 1.5kg as my mentor is nearly 2kg and will pull that all day long id say.
madjeff Group CaptinPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : not sure if justin has a tow line or not. but if you fancy trying sam i will buy some towline my self.
theSupernova Squadron LeaderPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : Yeah I will buy the HK nose tow line release too or make one up from something
justin Flying OfficerPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Well done Jeff look forward to giving it a try. As for towline I used bricklayers nylon line and it works well.
madjeff Group CaptinPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : just say when justin and will bring plane to the club
justin Flying OfficerPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : the idea of the tail brace to keep the line away from the rudder is a good one
madjeff Group CaptinPosts : Reputation : Join date : Age : Location : might be some thing i may do if it snags on the rudder or elevator. will stop the foam getting bruised too. for first attempt just going to put some fibreglass weave tape on for now.
