I flew the Lump today with Mike, who owns a Mulitplex Lucky.
This is a 76" V tailed sloper that flys absolutely sweet. Big, long
spoilerons gives it a nice roll rate, and the spoileron function amazed me
when I saw it slow down and sink in for its landings.
Obechi Wing comes pretty much done and in ONE piece! All holes are drilled,
Control rods in place, and blind nuts in place. Cool Carbon latice canopy
too.
It has an RG15 blended out at the tips to a RG12 for some mystical purpose
that seems to work. It climbed way up in lift yet had no problems in harsh
vertical dives accross the slope. The tail is a glue on but Mike made it a
bolt on for easier transport...pretty simple to do, according to Mike.
Mike is pretty much a second year newbie and this was his 'step up' from
floaters and foamies.
Mpx lists it at a measely $212 which for what you get and how much is already
done, is an amazing value...considering HLG's of this caliber of plane exceed
$250 with a hole lot less done for you.<A

Its light too! I think you could cut flaps in with no problem if you wanted
a neat, cheap 2m contest ship.
Way to go Karlton!
Gordy and Randy ...back at the Lump tomorrow!
