At 2m from wingtip to wingtip this roller is much bigger than normal. On her maiden flight a strong gust of wind broke a spar - time for a quick redesign and then up in the air for a proper test flight at the end of the week.

I have just finished this large white kite (2m wingspan and 2m high) - I feel the need to make an identical balck kite and fly them side by side.
