I was hoping to see some in-flight photo's and that John's beautiful model was successful.
Unfortunately, it was not . . . I found some photo's posted by Chris Taylor of the Navaho at NARAM-56.

I guess Navaho scale models should get flight points for *not* pranging (successful flights of the full-scale ones were rarer than unicorns' eye teeth). Today's R/C airplane stability augmentation systems (my UMX Micro Radian motorglider https://www.horizonhobby.com/produc...m/EFLU2980.html has one; it enables the 730 mm wingspan "micro" version to handle as well as the larger [with more inertia, too], 2 m wingspan "standard" Radian in gusty conditions) would be helpful to scale B/Gs (and/or RGs) such as the Navaho. |
