Wow, that was a very nice flight. The Bostobina Cub will be yealous:-)
Your Boxy Lady seems to have potential.

Thanks George- I'm sure that's good advice. After the initial flights (which had an even more pronounced initial burst) I did change to a longer motor yesterday, and the flight pattern improved to what you see here. So a still longer or thinner one makes sense. As most of my other aircraft are scale ones, I'm not really used to flying such (comparitively) light models, so all advice is very welcome. In fact I get quite a kick out of only needing one loop and being able to wind beyond a thousand without even gritting my teeth!

Good flight Pete.

If I may suggest, a very slightly thinner or longer rubber motor, to cure the initial power burst and the rather quick descent.

Here is a video of one of Pete's flights with the "Boxy Lady" Bostonian at Clayton Green on Saturday.

the first new plane on new SFA! Well done.

All done with six days to spare! Finished weight is 14.7g, so safely over the minimum limit so long as my scales are right. It balances just behind the spar, which might change a little bit with rubber, but hopefully it won't need much weight added.
As for challenging Mr Tomlinson- I don't think so somehow, but it might do better than the Chub at least!

(I see Dave has a very nice looking new Bostonian on the Clayton gallery page.

Should be a fun day!)

13g is good. Needs to be 14g anyway so hopefully you will be just over. Someone needs to challenge Tom!

I am intending to go. I did consider building a new Bostonian but decided that I would just run out of time as usual! I have three but none are competitive (which is why I thought of building another). Dumbo, snout and the nieuport-beech Bostonian. Hopefully I will be trimming the Buster.
