Olympic II done

Ok not a Control line project, but this was waiting for me.  Recover and repair an old Olympic II glider and add electric power to it. 

This is a Cragists list find.  I always  wanted one.  Early RC flying I remember an Olympic 99 with a enya 09 on a wing pylon.    This is the later Olympic II and the power is a .10 sized out runner on the nose.
​
  • Step 1 was to remove the old covering
  • Step 2 repair the nose section, tail section and a few broken ribs
  • Step 3 was to recover,  The tail and fuselage were used scrap from my monokote box.  The wing was covered with the low cost Neu cover often refereed as china kote.   Wile there are some difference in how you use it, it works fine, I like the low cost $14 for a 16 foot roll.  Just be sure to follow the temperature guidelines for sticking and shrinking  

  
Bright colors and one contrasting wing panel for visibility.   A low KV 10 sized motor wont give rocket ship performance but  it will get it up  there.  Need a battery and some nice clear weather
