What a sad day it was when my Javelin E have a major accident. All this happened during last weekend when I was try to land the sailplane during a cross wind. It was sudden gust of wind that blew it off track and ended up hitting the fences and toppled. Damage was severe as the fuselage broke into 2 1/2 pieces and several cracks in the middle of the fuselage. The wing suffered severed damage on the tips where it was torn to pieces. Broke the aileron on the other wing. Repairing of the fuselage wouldn't be a prolem but the wing are beyond repair. The main spar in the wing broke and there no way I could access it unless teh whole pieces have been cut up. I have learn a lesson well from this as partly I was careless too.
Anyway, decided to salvage the electronics parts as it was still at a good working conditions. Got my hands itchy again and start browse the web to search for something new again. Finally it got my attention. The 'Stork 2 Pro' from Soaring USA. It was a beauty to look at it and after some calls and emails. I have decided to purchase it. The aircraft should be here in 5 to 6 days time period as it was sent by FEDEX. For the meantime I have manage to browse for the build thread for the 'Stork 2 Pro'. It wasn't that much work that needed to be done as mention on the thread and I believe the building is much easier than the Spirit and both the 'Stork 2 Pro' and 'Spirit' are from the same manufacturer which is NAN Models from CZ.
This time I would try to publish the building process of the 'Stork 2 Pro' :)
Got these photos of the 'Stork 2 Pro' from Soaring USA site. It does look elegant. Can't wait to get my hands on them.
