front wing lockers... can be made out of wood aswell...
Ha, now one "very important" part! Stickers!
looking cool... sniper cross which artistically expresses landing on spot!
And finally Ready to Fly!!!!
father and me... both proud of of our project!
can't be better weight!!! That must fly very good!

Congratulations!
Tobi
P.S.: Will you publish your Plans for private use ? (At Friday I will get my Step-Four Precise 760
)

About the colour! You have to know that, although from Celje, Jure is a big fan of FC Maribor. Therefore the yellow and the violet

Hi Uwe,
in these Season there are 2 F3B-Models with equal names "Shooter" and "Target" - so "Sniper" sounds good - maybe the Plane is a bit to slow for the name
Sniper = You feel the Bullet and seconds later you hear the shoot

FC Maribor, yea right
Well yeah... there are 2 reasons for this name. First is that this is my first project so I wanted to give name something similar to my nick, as you can see, second reason why is that name suitable for this specific plane is that it's designed to compete in F5J 75W. This is the category, where motor time + gliding time must not exceed 10min, and you need to land on the spot. (Similar to F3J, but not old fashion tow). And you need to land accurately on spot like sniper need to hit accurately the target... same thing isn't it?
Well, enough of the name...
We better go in air!
comparison with Sensor from RIVA models...

here you have video of maiden flight

Now few more photos...
This takes maximal 2min... with looking for screwdriver!
to the field...
getting ready...
final check
and we let it go to the heaven
I want to try it aswell...
and of course my brother too..

Okay, the kit includes all pre-cutted balsa and plywood parts except for sheeting which is doubled (so you copy one which is already cut).
This is one example of cutting with 1.3mm "Fräser" (one german word )
und mit 0.4mm Fräser....
Sperholz
And all together...
Of course you are waiting for flight report; Model needed 2 klicks of trim for elevator (down). Model flies as planned or even better than that. It's good in wind compared to Fly-Q, Sensor etc. (planes with airfoil MH32). Because of the longer nose, the model don't need any additional weight in the nose to catch CG. There is plenty of room for different components.
Plane is very manoeuvrable in air and for landings, there is no problem to land it in windy or calm weather (this is expected for competitions), and it's gliding is just perfect! You can use this plane for beginning as well, but you need to build it up fairly good, because only well build model can fly well!
Oh yes... if someone thinks wood is not strong... I can guaranteed beat someone's ass with this fuselage without breaking it ha ha. Also, wings can hold tight loops and are almost indestructible in air. Sheeting makes them really strong!
For last thing... I'm planning the wing with ailerons as well, for those who just don't want to fly only with rudder. But I must say... in competition the simple is better!
Oh yes... this year my father (and this race was only his third) got second place with it on Slovenian F5J championship... which is amazingly good result!!!
