RC Slope Soaring in Hong Kong

Hello everyone of this forum. I have been flying balsa & EPP planes for some time now want try molded gilder. Need easy build and fast. Any good suggestion ? Where can I buy it ?

I would say, currently, the most popular 60" moldies in HK are:

MiniNYX
Shooting Star
Microfloh
Prodij/Mininch
MiniCorado
Banana
Fredy
Destiny
Pixel
MinEllipse

These gliders all have their pros and cons in terms of performance/price tradeoff. There are other issues to consider also; suitability for different wind conditions, easy to demage, and etc.

So you need to find one that suit your flying style most. Good luck!

Stanley,

MiniDick's question is: Need easy build and fast.... Where can he buy it?

Your answer is not want he need, I think you need to answer him again.

Mini-NYX is fast to build, flys fast, and you can buy it from Stanley.

I see. MININYX must be the best choice. Lots of master are flying it. Thank you !

Saw masters flying nice moldies last week. People around said they can be purchased in Yau Ma Di, just around HK$1,200. After searching in WaiGo and Guang Wa Street, not found Anyone got idea about :

1. What is the name of that moldies ?
2. Is it made in China ?
3. Where to buy it ?
4. Is it good for entry level ?
5. Any good / bad about that moldies ?

Looks the budget of one MiniNYX can buy almost two of them

Not sure if it's the same one you taking about. But the following shop at Mong Kok has a molded sailplane about $1200. No ideas on the name, but outlook is similar to most 1.5M slope racer. Why not give eddie a call to see if he still has it for sell. I believe it's out of stock for a while.

Hi guys,

I think you are talking V2.
A 1.5 meter moldies with reasonable finishing. I flew with it once. The performance was not bad. Just a personal opinion, the V-tail seems a bit small, whilst the elevators are thick.

It would be one of the good choices for beginner.

Cheer,

Agree with Ah Pong,

It's Vtail is very small, acutally I believe it is the same tail as Mini Falcon. Looks unmatch with the rest of the plane.

Hi guys,

A portion scanned from the book "the glider (Stelio Frati)" might give you some ideas on tail area calculation.



Cheers,
Pong Pong

Thanks guys ! That's V2 ! Checked with Windfeel, need to wait for next shippment and the shop said the V-tail will be modified to BIGGGGER !

One thing you have to consider:

Previous shippment does not have factory installed pushrod (you have to buy it seperately), no servo covers, and even no aileron & elevator horns. Not easy to build comparing to Mini-NYX.

My friens told me that. He has one still in the store room.

Not so worry the buiding but anyone know more about the flying habit of V2 ? Easy to handle ? Stable enough or always tip stall ?
