I'm the delegation until the end of May, and my colleague is making attempts motor, yet without the cowling.





Sorry for the poor quality pictures, such a sent me an e-mail.
Maybe soon will be flying.
Flying near a very welcome :D

Very cool I'd love to build a 1:1 kit someday.

What's the engine being used? It looks like it's swinging a pretty decent sized prop, so they must be using a prop speed reduction unit?

Hello Jacek:

That is really neat.  A very colorful scheme too.  Looking forward to seeing it lift off.

Best

Lovely little aeroplane.  It would be a joy see it flying.   Good luck with the balance
of the work.

Cheers,

She flies! I wonder what causes that weird optic effect on the image of the spinning propeller.

Great to see her in the air. I have seen the same optical effect on many films of spinning props, but I was a little concerned about the amount of flex in the trailing edge of the top wing near the top of the picture during flight, probably quite normal but it looks worrying.

Weird looking boomerang prop is caused by GoPro fisheye lens.
