I swore I wouldn't do
this but I broke down and bought a Super-AVA. After seeing their performance at
the Nat's it's hard to deny this planes ability to hang. Well after calling and
asking if they had mailed the key separately for the sport tube (DAH!) and
finding it was taped to the rear handle. I felt as though I didn't deserve such
a gem of a plane LOL.
I picked up a Yellow
fuse with Violet wings, man is this thing pretty! After reviewing the contents
of the Sport tube I was convinced that I had the makings of a great floater! I
checked the link on Kennedy's site http://www.rcsoaring.com/docs/AVA_Instructions.pdf and
found a very well written set of recommendation's using these as well as the
instructions on the Kennedy site I was very comfortable with the direction
I was heading.
In just a few nights after work (around 8
hours) I have this monster ready for flight. I can't wait to get out tonight and
give her a test flight or two! At 43oz. all up this is the most insanely light
plane I have ever put together. I plan on taking several pic's of my efforts in
putting the S-AVA together and will be posting these latter or I can send to
anyone interested, just ping me off line and I will get them to
you.
