Tracer build started, finally!

This evening IO had some time to start with the Tracer build.
To save time I had asked a friend to help me with the wing servos some time ago.
He did this meanwhile.
Harry, you did a great job with this! Thanks a lot!

Tonight I finished the cableforms for the wing servos.

Decided to use the connectors and not to solder the cables for easy replacement.

A bit hot glue and we are done.
Floating connectors in the wing, fixed in the fuselage.

succesful maiden of Sagitta!

The needed enhancements are done and it was possible to maiden Sagitta today via airplane towing.

The Sagitta flys very good and is quite fast, in spite of the thick airfoil.

I am already in love :-)!

Tracer

I got my Tracer 30 minutes before the beginning of the Pfingstpokal.
Quite challenging to take over the ship in Gerfeld and to arrive at the competition place at Abtrodaer Kuppe with a ready to fly plane as a delayed arrivel would lead to disqualification.

Very nice plane but not light...
The 2200g AUW advertised by NAN seems unrealistically.

During the first test assembly today, it became visible that wing joiner for left wing does not fit.

Tracer ahead

Good news is I can get a Tracer in May (22.+23.) at Pfingstpokal 2010, Wasserkuppe.
As I have still no F3F glider (all manufactors I know have long delivery times and used ships I get offered for were too used) I decide to take the Tracer without knowing in detail with what I will engage...

International FAI Sporting License# received

Received my International FAI Sporting License# by email.
That was really fast!
