A couple of small issues with boat balance but after moving the fin 10mm further aft and a couple of small tweaks she appears to be up there with the other popular modern designs. However, in saying this I wish we had a bit more wind as she is a fairly beamy design compared to her competitors at 194mm so a bit more breeze will hopefully see her in her element.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After months of racing I have come to the conclusion that Joio is just not up to speed. She was my latest and narrowest design to date but after a lot of scrutinising I can only conclude that her beam and transom are just too narrow at 163 and 73mm respectively.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So until I complete a replacement, VMG which was my second D&B back in 2011 has had a little makeover and is now back on the water and at the sharp end of the fleet. I have learnt so much since I first started sailing VMG so it will be interesting to see what she is capable of. Although, I have to come to terms with using a rather slow Graupner Regatta winch as the RMG fitted just in front of the mast would have had an adverse effect on the boats trim.</span></div>

At times you could see half a mile and within a few secs the visibility was down to a few metres. However, the conditions just suited the Dream Flite Libelle perfectly and I had one of best half hour soaring sessions ever. Low, close and full of varying manoeuvers.<br />
The Libelle is just less cumbersome than either the Traceur or Vagabond. It's a very refined, special glider.<br />

Ok, that's not exactly unusual! However, in that relatively short space of time I managed to design, build, varnish, tune and play a Cigar Box Guitar.<br />
Scraps of ply, softwood, pop rivets, a spanner and an old key being the main ingredients. Not forgetting the £9 I spent on the pick up and jack plug. Result!<br />

I'm now a very happy soarer.</span></span><br />

Smooth generous lift to start then gradually decreasing to a gentle drifting breeze. There were also quite a few designs being flown from a 44yr old Dynaflite Ranger 99" , A Fatbox with an original Skyleader servo, Cobra, Zagi, Easy Star, Multiplex 300MM Fox, Vagabond, Mefisto and Libelle.</span></div>

It's a fantastic location and on the other side of the Headland it's also a great spot for Westerly winds and for the brave it is possible to Dynamic Soar (DS) the Great Tor. If you're wondering what DS'g is then it's the fastest form of RC flight, faster than any powered aircraft including jets! The World Record speed currently stands at just over 500mph, not bad for a glider!!</span></span></div>

Work is well on the way with the Hammers makeover. This follows a horrendous crash last year when I stalled at very low altitude and wrote off the wings. This crash was so avoidable that I'm still really annoyed with myself when I think about it. But as the ole saying goes there aint no point crying over crushed balsa. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Harry lent a helping hand to prep the fuse whilst I worked on the wing roots. </div>

The conditions weren't brilliant with a light NW wind wafting over the lake leading to big holes and 180 degree shifts. Overall we finished in a fairly disappointing third position but I'm pretty confident that a few tweaks will see us performing a lot better. This evening I have re programmed the RMG winch end points to my new HiTec transmitter. There is now adequate travel for the sails to sheet right out and I have also started to alter the fin rake further aft.<br />
The forecast for next Sundays race is looking a lot better so given these tweaks and a little more mast rake I hope Joio will be a little more assertive and be up on the pace.<br />

I thought I'd try something a little different with this build and locate the relatively heavy rudder servo and battery as low and as close to the centre of gravity as possible.<br />
In order to achieve this I made a little tray for the receiver and cut the bottom off a normal plastic pot to the same depth as a standard servo. Formed a liteply top and cut apertures for the servo and battery. The pot is then glued directly to the hull just behind the fin box and in theory the servo and battery should remain nice and dry. The top of the pot is then fixed in the preformed kicker well recess. The void between the top and bottom of the pot allows for good ventilation of the hull whilst the lid is off.<br />

Two halves were joined to make a hull and apertures formed for the kicker/pot well, rx and rudder linkage. The Wildthing and Mefisto also had blast at Hunts in just over 30mph winds. So my Joio mojo is back and this evening I've been cutting and resining the fin/mast case.<br />

Here's my new bike, a bit different to those more common agricultural things you see being ridden by MAMILs. Since the very first mass produced bikes in 1872 the designs have continued to develop and my new ROUX G8 is no exception. Hub gears, Carbon drive belt and Swing shock make this bike fun, fast, friendly. It's a real blast!<br />
