Very nice! I see you took the trouble to drill all the boundary energising holes on the wing; I didn't bother because I doubt there was much science behind the feature. I maidened mine at Selsley more than 18 months ago. It has the same channel setup as yours and I also wish it had brakes. Mine is a portly 5.2 Kg with a painted finish and a 1000 watt electric setup. I hope we can fly our Solutions together one day.
Hey Ken. Thanks for the comment. Yeah I think I saw your vid the other day I think. Is your Solution the green one? I did drill the holes, but like you said I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything aerodynamically useful. Interesting that you maidened yours more recently, they stopped making the XL a while ago didn't they? Was it a local model shop find or something? They seem like quite rare birds these days, so it's great that there's a couple flying locally now :)
Hi. Yes, mine is the Kawasaki green one. I bought my kit from Antics in Gloucester in 2000. Then it lay in my attic for 15 years+ unbuilt while I gained a family.

Ahhh very good! I remember many happy visits to Antics, not been there in years though. Happy flying, hope to catch you soon :)
