It gets Complicated ! as theres THREE series of Percival Mewgulls . ( separate designs ) and Henshaws G-AEXF was a E2H and went through
continual progressive development . Edgar Percivals late one G_AFAA was a E3H , which was another complete redraw .
This one im doing is Henshaws in ' Cape Town ' record spec . elasticated !
My previous 72 span one was 38 Kings Cup spec , ish .
Though Comparable , aerodynamically the one being built is a different ballpark .
Was astounded with this at the two lap glide , and that the wings didn't fall off ,
even in a 20 mph wind . Unmuffled Merco 49 on 15 or 20% nitro on a 12 x 6 wood ,
would four stroke around effortlessly , tho 70Ft lines are as short as youd want .
That's a Bedford , not a Chev.
Flying it here ,reserves on the shore to seaward of those lakes , pines down the beach line . youd get the onshore breeze over the pines ,
and the ground breeze left to right along down to the right . So wind sheer at about 50 Ft. alt. and a big rock of
the tips through the downwind loop of the overhead eight . Though id didn't drag me down the field or go loose
on the lines .
