wastegate Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think I'm too slow for the Voodoo even if I wanted one! The Viper is much bigger but even then I wouldn't be able to fly it at pylon racing speeds. If you like building then why not have a crack at a 125% Slipso from the free RCGroups plans. They cost next to nothing to build and can be pretty quick if powered right. My first glassed wing went wrong so I did another with just Solarfilm covering and that was fine. The wing takes an hour to carve/sand and is pretty strong with a carbon tube embedded in it. The fuselage can just be covered in solarfilm. Not exactly like a Voodoo but lots of fun and won't make your wallet cry if it all goes wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEN Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Thanks for that i thought i had got the hang of posting photos but still got some learning to do.It depends on how much time i have the larger ones take longer to set up and i need a bigger field the smaller ones i can fly in the local park so its quick and easy.

wastegate Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Here you go. The standard 100% Slipso is well covered but if you want to go bigger with the 125% Slipso (1 metre wingspan) then remember to keep the CG at 28mm from the leading edge to start. They're a simple build and the wing seems more difficult to shape than it really is. I shaped my last wing in an hour! The 100% performs well on a 3000Kv motor with a 4.75x4.75 prop and 3s battery but the 125% version is a rocket on a decent 4s setup.
