    It has been almost three weeks of continual rain except for today. I grabbed ESSO Nr.2, bungee launch set, drone, and head to the airfield nearby to test and practice launch by 80/20 bungee.

    Just one day after the MECA event in Oberbalm, Sunday the 2nd of June last year, we have met us again at Mühlethurnen. Sunshine, gentle breeze and pleasant temperature promised to be a nice day for flying again.

  • ESSO – Swiss glider by Arnold Degen (building the fuselage)

    The famous Swiss vintage glider known as ESSO was designed by Arnold Degen in 1941 as a promotional model for the European branch of Exxon. I have chosen this model as another vintage project for incoming season which is close and will be actual in a few weeks sometime.
