Seagull Nemesis

As you know the Nemesis doesnt like to slow down,so with a varied wind ,a stronger wind helps but no wind no slow down so you have to come in way out and oh so slow.We spent time trimming her manually where the repairts had put her out a bit.1 st flight really good,and my mate was taking photos,dead stick here goes the under carriage again but no landed fgently in the rough but all held firm.So lets see the photos then,he had done any.Another flight was called for.Flew round ,now bring her in to land and here are the results

Flying as good as it ever had really enjoyable

Oh this is so enjoyable so responsive am I having fun

No worries I can save this,coming into land I just gently turned and that was it

Ooh pooie,Ive been here before

The bolts are plastic but difficult to get at,.One wing would come off and maybe the other if I remove the alloy tube which is a bit distorted,If I stuck a red hot screw driver in ther The model would go "pouff"The stuck bolt may well have become glued with epoxy when I used it to secure plates to be glued to the sides.The model did last very well and often cartwheeled on landing so it did stand up to a bit of abuse from me.Its very slippery and wouldnt slow down so often landed at speed and then bounced back upand would then go into a cartwheel

Ive decide to replace the Nemesis for the Seagull Sparrow hawk and use the parts from this model in putting the Sparrowhawk together as my christmas day build.The Nemesis engine having now been fitted into the Swift anf making that an easier flyer will be replaced with a just run in SC61 I won in the club raffle.

Well I can assure you it flies beautifully and I hold the record for the number of bounces and cartwheels you can achieve on landing.Also I didnt finish one story,after a chit chat of 3 we decided to have one more flight .Being over confident at my flying skills on the day,I took off to the left caught some long grass which put it more left,kept the power on and went straight through a gap in the branches of an oak tree,hit a branch on the far side of the tree and the model dropped 4 feet from someone packing up.He appeared glasses and hat ascue,thinking he had been attacked by aliens ,model in hand asking if I wanted it back.The only damage was the perfect repair you see at the leading edge of the wing.Rest assured itll be fine Ive done the maiden flight for you
