WElcome to all from RCGroups

Team Just put this on Rc groups so expect some new followers No rude stuff from now on the world is watching :0).


Thought some of you may be interested in our Blog. It is about the latest journey through project zenith 3b1.

This project was started way back in 2003 when the first design work was carried out; back then the design was cutting edge. The first prototype was flown 18.06.05. The model was unique in its construction as it was the first F3B model to made from Pre preg material as opposed to wet lay up. I did fly this same model at the F3B WC in Finland that same year, unfourtunitly I experience problems with flutter during the launch resulting in the end of the prototype. Following this further experiments were carried out making part using Pre preg techniques but no other complete model were made or flown due to lack of enthusiasm and I realised it was too much work for one man, plus I had other way to spend my free time, so I never realised what the full potential of the design was or what could have been.

That it until now…. With a little (a lot from Harry) help from my friends the project is well and truly up and running again, using a combination of pre preg and conventional wet lay up constructions methods. If you would like to follow on the journey and may be help us along the way then visit our Blog to see the latest progress.
