Secret Spy Shot
With less than a week to go before the F3J / Thermal glider National Championships our reporter snapped this spy shot of Lionel Brink trimming his newly acquired glider from the Evan Shaw stable.

Yup. Nothing like the challenge of installing & trimming a new model 1 week before the Nats.
For the record, this Emoyeni features a full skin (no spar) wing construction (SD7037 or similar). The next one will be built with a spar. Overall the model thermals on fieldmouse flatulance but needs to be given a little nose in tight turns. Still playing with braking, as the flaps alone do not stop the beast!
