Well it is Correx but its not a Mig.

Here are my latest photographs from our last outing this September to Slipper. Jim brought two of his latest Correx creations along. Miss America Mustang P51 and ?? Well lets see how good is your knowledge of WWWII aircraft's. What type of plane is the second one in the picture?

Enjoy the pics.

Repair

Hi Guys:

It’s been quiet around here for the last few months. Well the weather has been poor for slope soaring.

So I thought to post a series of pics to demonstrate how quick and easy it is to repair the Correx Mig.

Tip:

Use Lacquer Thinners or equal solvent to smooth out hot glue beads or welds

You will need:

Glue Gun

Glue stick

Some vinyl

Lacquer Thinners

Damage

Work bench

Repair kit

Use to smooth hot glue beads and welds

Some timber required

Scrap ply and epoxy.. that's all

New former fitted 1

New formers fitted 2

New battery and receiver compartment fitted

Just need to add battery and receiver

Assistance

Use hot glue gun

Filled in with hot glue

Smoothed out using Thinners

Vinyl added

All done

Something new

Sean tried something new for our Mig:

Glider Backpack! He went and put together a cradle for his Electric Mig. Complete with a servo release mechanism.

This then allowed him to strap a light weight glider like the Alula on top of the Mig. The setup works brilliantly. He was kept busy taking Alula after Alula up for a glider session. Height was no problem, only the size of the Alula limited the up ride.

Well done Sean and what a great idea! It was just what we needed for those windless days especially for us slope addicts.

Older man Tony, built these Migs. Two for his two grandsons.....display only, and two for himself.

Seans machine in the air at last.

Barry taking on the entire squadron......brave guy!

Morne has everything in his vans workshop....including watermelon!!

So I thanked him by taking his fin off and escorted it into the bush!

Jims very pretty and very scale Mig-7!....including pilot and Russian dials!
