Final flight of my Henry Struck Triangle Sportster. Launched into a strong Texas thermal at the Texas Cloud Climbers/Lone Star Squadron Spring Opener meet, wound to 2000 turns on a 7.5g loop of 3/32" rubber. Chased the model most of the way across the airfield, caught the last wing flash 7+ minutes after launch with the model still rising as it drifted downwind. The Triangle Sportster plan is available on Outerzone at: outerzone.co.u.... Build thread for this model is on RC Groups at: www.rcgroups.c...

Holy smokes! I was gonna say nice torque roll into a climb while watching. Then, oh hooked a thermal...oh my goodbye. Dang. Sure flies good though.

Wow, that didn't take long. You guys have some strong thermals in Texas!

Yes, there were some boomers. I got a four-minute flight out of the Spitfire! On the flight before this one the Sportster climbed out and thermalled almost as aggressively, but popped out of the thermal into some sink at about 80 seconds and landed at about 96 seconds (we were flying 90 second maxes).

Awesome! Sorry you lost another great model but it’s why free flight is more exciting than other types of flying.

What a neat quirky little model Mike and what a building challenge the fuselage must have been -not to mention laminated curved spars! DT definitely needed but that would be a challenge too - pop off wing?

Like a homesick Angel. Beautiful plane, beautiful wood work on the build.

blue skies! so much lift that even the water vapour goes up too fast to form clouds... gone, but never forgotten

That is checkered Eze-Tissue, available in the US from Peck Polymers and Retro-RC. Several colors available.

Great flight, Mike! Not sure a DT would have worked!

Maybe a pop-off wing Dorhm - anything else would have kept going up.
