Took a break from the building board and other household chores, and grabbed a handful of swingers and headed out to the local flying field ;-) |

(This shoud have been posted about 3 posts back.) Since the new pod and tail worked so well on the 9 inch wing, we decided to apply it to the 11 inch wing. |

It flys well, and this is the story of how the Jr. Cloudbuster came to fly with a 11 inch wing. |

The 11 inch wing with new fuse and tail. |

The tiny flyer in its new configuration flys well. |

A couple of weeks ago, we gave the tiny flyer a new fuselage and wing and tail mounts. |

The tiny flyer flys well with the 9 inch wing. |

So we added upturned wing panels to the modified BB horizontal tail and came up with a 9 inch wing which we attached to the tiny flyer. |

About the time that we putting the V-tail on the modified BB, we were tinkering with this little flyer. About 8 inch wingspan. |

After breaking the booms several times, they were replaced with a single dowel boom and a V-tail. |
| simpleflyer, Image # 19230 | 12 Sep 10 01:14 |
The 1/8 by 3/8 balsa booms were a weak point. |

and flown often. |
| simpleflyer, Image # 19228 | 12 Sep 10 01:08 |
The model was a fine flyer |
| simpleflyer, Image # 19227 | 12 Sep 10 01:07 |
Ready to fly. |
| simpleflyer, Image # 19223 | 11 Sep 10 23:42 |
With the 11 inch wing the model flys well but needs more speed to maintain the same altitude. |
| simpleflyer, Image # 19222 | 11 Sep 10 23:41 |
As we experiment with the collapsible models, we're designing some commonality among the models. Here the Jr.Cloud Buster can accomodate the wings of 11 and 14 inches. |
| simpleflyer, Image # 19221 | 11 Sep 10 23:39 |
Flys well low and slow. |
| simpleflyer, Image # 19220 | 11 Sep 10 23:38 |
Another test flight with the Jr. Cloud Buster |
