Well it’s all finished and ready to fly. It weighs in at under 4.5 oz and I can’t wait to fly it. Maybe Monday if the weather is good. Here are some pictures.
The last two images show how I set up the flight controls.

Well I have not gotten much chance to do much flying but I am more or less all moved. I still need a place to work and build and the DIU is just sitting there.
Here are some nice pictures of Montana De Oro, I actually got some flying in today and it was pretty fun, [...]

Went out to get some gliding in today, the wind was nice and strong. Cliff, Jan and I all got to maiden flight some of our planes.
Cliff’s Ridge Runner flew great, as did my Razor, once I finally got it in the air. Jan brought out his new Talon with conventional tail and it flew [...]

Well I get the tooth pulled monday, and for the price I think they are cutting of my arm too! But at least the pain will be gone. Just 2 more days of waking up in throbbing pain and its all over, wait, 3 more days…
On a brighter note I got my DIU kits in [...]

Well I have been looking around for a good place to check wind and weather forcasts and came accross this website today. I placed a link on the left side below the YouTube link to view the weather.  This is especially nice for tracking wind speed and direction. The two things that determine my ability [...]

The Mini Morback (hanger) is ready to fly and will be taking it out for its maiden flight in about 30 minutes. The rain storm of today is hiding behind crystal blue skies. Sneaky bastard.
I got my power setup for my Alula clone DIU DLG from www.eFlyPower.com. It looks really good and look forward to [...]

Well it crashed, and the bad news is that it is ready to fly again. As it turned out the impact that broke the servo arm free also stripped the servo. So I replaced it with another servo and the plane is about ready to fly again. However if common sense gets the best of [...]

Well it is flight ready now. I moved the servos into the wings and got the weight down to 4.9 ounces. The first few glide tests went great and I am currently doing a battery drain test. After 2 hours the battery is still strong. Hoping to get a full days flight out of the [...]

Got this plane for $5 yesterday and am starting to build it today. The plane has a funky cover for the electronics and motor mount that I likely won’t use. It is just too funky for me! and the build weight is a little higher then I hope to have too. We’ll see.
I am using [...]

Added a page for the Alula I am building (here) under Workbench. So far its looking good. Should have it finished up today or tomorrow.
