Hi Von,
Yep.. Although it's still in the box, it has sort of above average reviews so given the price as well I thought I'd give it a go. 2 piece wing strength seems fine. This will probably be the model I will try first time DS on but not trying to break any records heheh! I think this will become my all-round slope basher when conditions allow.
Cheers!

Hi Paul,
I love those Ninjas! You can just throw them about the sky and they seem so fine inverted - just like flying around the right side up.
My first mod came about by mistake hehe - building without reading the instructions would you believe! You know how the canopy is partly on the wing, well now I make all Ninjas with a one piece canopy and strengthen the main former where the wing dowl goes through. ...Nothing much I know, but it makes covering so much easier too. Strong as an Ox.
Hey those Ninja's are getting rare now!
Matt S

I recognise the fuz ;D www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8971548&postcount=61I think it is out of my mold - Norm Cash did the plug and I made up the mold. The Mold was made of polyester so it is nearing the end of its usefull life - presently collecting dust in my shed. Always wanted to make another Ninja or 2.... cheers jeff

Time to update this thread. I need to edit my fleet list on an almost weekly basis!
1) Nemesis 60" hollow molded glass/ carbon slope racer. Super fast and super good and superb little DSer. Heavily used, heavily crashed, but it flies like new after half a dozen major repairs.
2) Fazer F3B carbon moldie 3.1m thermal sailplane. Going great despite a recent crunch into a tree.
3) Fazo - hybrid of Caracho 3000 wing with a Fazer fuselage. Just got it. Pretty amazing.
4) Vector aerobatic 2.3m moldie. Love it, highly recommended.
5) Ozprey. The best all round zippy nippy Shorncliffer - use it heaps.
6) Windrider Bat - got sick of it as it feels so vague compared to a moldie. Recently modified it with a Reaper tail and long nose and is more fun again.
7) Windrider Bee . Hardly been used for ages but I'm about to start teaching one of my daughters so it's about to get dusted off.
8) Southern Sailplanes Ricochet aerobatic slope sailplane - beaut plane but is for sale if I can get $275 for it, as it's now superseded by the Vector.
8) Wizard Compact BPV 2.5m molded carbon slope racer, DS capable version. This Ferrari of a plane is currently in ICU at Seans' hospital while the surgeons contemplate whether reconstruction is possible. Not sure whether it will ever come out of its coma or whether we'll give up and stop the life support, to bring some sort of closure to our grief.
************ Off the Air***************
1) Southern Sailplanes T-Bird sailplane - sold to Felix
2) Aeromod Minij - had a long and wonderful life, now broken. Jirvin has the wing bits and I have the fuse. When I get into vac bagging I'm going to get it going again. I love it.
3) Reaper - was euthanased, necropsied and used as an organ donor.
