Expressfly pilot and designer Richard Boyd , has agreed with expressfly to produce his designed SUK-31 .
The Suk will be released shortly and will be sold only through expressfly .
The Suk is constructed using Extrupor and is CNC machine cut for a precision build . The Suk is a highly aerobatic indoor plane and Richard designed this plane with aeromusical flying in mind.
We will be offering the SUK as a white only plane , this will let the proud owner personalise the plane to their own colours .

SUK-31

UPDATE 2010

Simon McNeill flew this one in the EIM2010!
See him perform on Youtube (Search youtube EIM2010 for all of the vids!)

I got a few DS-Birdy’s from Andreas Decker, to test on the slopes of the Emerald Isle. To help with the building, I did a quick translation of the funny words.

Test pilot of choice is of course Richard. (If you like a Birdy of your own, give him a shout!)

And an example of a Birdy-DS in action…

Birdy-DS building instructions

I found a good series of pics that go with the building of this nice little bird on :

This appears to be more or less the official thread for the build, as there are no images in the official manual.

The translation is interspersed with my own experience and observations. I suggest you read the lot before gluing the first bits. Try to understand what is suggested, rather than blindly following the sequence.

A very important point: DO look at your radio-gear, and make sure all the bits will fit. You don’t have a lot of room to play with! (Saying that, I used a Spektrum 6100 RX, and 2 DS47′s and a 2 cell lipo, and still had space to spare in the fuse.)

Flying Flashes and Su during the demo.

The picture above was taken during a demo in a local stadium. You can see more pics of the event over here. 

This was the first time a RC-Factory Su-29 was flown in public in N-Ireland. According to Richard, it’s FUN! Even in the very turbulent conditions, the plane handled well, as did the other 2 Flashes form the same stable. For events like this, these are ideal planes. 

The demo was attended by pilots from the following clubs: 

• Belfast Model Flyingclub  (control line)
• Banbridge aeromodelling Club
• Ballymoney club
• Dungannon modelflying Club
• Langford Lodge
• NIMSA, glider club of Northern Ireland

Organised by Bill Scott from the NIAA as part of the Classic Show at Ballymena.

Crazy Dutch RC Jet Pilots

Health to fly.

Emax 12g metal geared micro servo are fantastic servo,we are using them for our park flyer planes like the RC-Factory EPP Flash , Yaks and now the SU-29. We also used them on our Windrider Fox glider and even in 30mph winds the servos remain rock solid.

3 servos will cost a little over £18 so it is fantastic value from expressfly.

Check out the SHOP

Expressfly kindly supplied me with a New Blaster 2 lite DLG glider.

The Blaster 2 Lite is a rudderless lite version of my old Blaster 2 plus the aileron servos are now installed in the pod rather than the wing!

Instructions were not yet in circulation so it was an assembly of experience.

DL50 HAND LAUNCH GLIDER

DL50 HAND LAUNCH GLIDER
Expressfly recently acquired the first batch of Mountain Models DL50 Gliders. The order was pre sold due to the high interest in this fun , yet intermediate competion model. Expressfly pilots have enjoyed the experiance of building and flying the DL50 , so much so that we have placed a new order and now will be selling the DL50 to the wider public. Flying the DL50 glider is so thrilling and rewarding , we fly in a variaty of places and this is really the secret about the DL50. Flying the DL50 at our flying site , we were getting 2-4 minutes in the air(this is winter flying) summer time brings termals and flight times increase. On a small slope (embankment type) times are as long as you like ! Great fun !

There’s more on the Banbridge site

No doubt the Flying Dutchman will add his building experiences soon?

This is the Clik 2.0 from RC-Factory , now it is available through expressfly UK .
Some noticable changes, wing span is now 810mm ( Clik 1 =800mm) also the wings have now a wider tip ( reduce wing twitch) . Redesigned brakes on the ailerons are set at 60 degrees ! The Geladipac Fus strenghteners have now holes down the full lenght, this will save a few precious grams . With a standard build the Clik 2.0 will weigh in at 120-140g .

I was honored to be invited to the 2009 Lithuanian Open F3P Competition. The venue for the event was a fantastic sports centre in the town of Kaslu Roda, situated about 120Km from the capital city of Vilnius.
Snow was on the ground and temperatures were -10 degrees C, so it was a change from our milder temperatures at home in Northern Ireland.
From leaving my home in Dungannon it took me 9 hour to reach Vilnius. On arrival my friend Donatas was waiting and it was off to his home and a bite to eat and then to the Friday night indoor flying.
These boys know how to enjoy their flying. I was very pleased to be flying one of the Worlds best indoor pilots planes, the Deluxe and SUltimate by Donatas Pauzuolis. This really was a very kind offer, as he also was flying the same planes in the competition and if I had a smashed, them Donatas was also out of the competition.

Well received medals and Trophies
