There have been some
absolute classic models designed and produced of around 2.5m span. These have followed some differing design
paths separated by many years. The fabled
Wizard Compact and Needle 100 are very different but very successful models. Choosing between the 2 would be a tough
choice!
The Compact has been
part of my fly fleet for many years, I love them. On my last holiday on Lundy I soon started to
wonder why I bothered to bring anything else!
I love models of
this size, they do seem to offer a wonderful balance of performance and sport
flying fun. I have raced my compact to
good effect a number of times. I haven’t
been able to find a model of this size available with really appeals to me, so
given the chance to help produce one it’s time to make one.
The aim of the new
model is to apply the design principals what have worked so well for the Harrier
and to a smaller model of comparable size.
The CAD files have
been completed and molds are nearly ready and the test models shoud be ready to
fly when the air starts to get nice and chilly in December. Once there are some more pictures I’ll be
sure to post them.
