Obelix from Yourself

Details

Obelix originated from discussions with BATS clubmates a couple of years back and is a development of the control line and Club 20 combat theme introduced by Phil Newman, whose 'Bomcat' machine was a simple wing cut from a slab of polystyrene foam.

Much midnight oil was burnt on the vexing problem of reflex sections and pitch control, solved eventually by a semi-symmetrical centre section set at an effective negative incidence whilst the wing panels went from semi to fully symmetrical. Developments threw out models like shelling peas until the present design - which will fly inverted with little or no change of trim and will perform any combinations of aerobatics involving rolls, inside and outside loops. Most manoeuvres in the book are easily performed but this machine is essentially a 'fun' model as I would expect it to be outpointed by a smoother flying, larger model in an aerobatic competition. Still, they cost more.
