NITRA 3

I need help about the logo on the side of fuselage, maybe you know what's that



look like the flag of Slovakia, but below seem to be a triangle, the double cross is dark on a light background, while that's opposite on the flag
Someone have already seen this logo? did you have another view in color of this logo? or maybe it was a fantasist and personal logo?
...

Ahoj,

I have found for you one picture in magazine Letectvi+kosmonautika 8/1976. An aeroplane in picture 235 belonged to the 3rd Aviation regiment in Nitra. Typical insignia is that (pic.234) with curved mountains below the cross, but slightly differencies existed, the length and thickness of cross parts, or the shape of mountains like this one.

I can send you .pdf with sheets from the magazine.

On these documents, they say something about color? cross, background, "triangle/montain"?

[valajda]

Etape II.b type 1

"Original common used insignia is white rectangle 45x50cm with black Slovakian cross. The rectangle is trimmed by 12mm thick black line."

And what I have written

"...but slightly differencies existed, the length and thickness of cross parts, or the shape of mountains...."

[VincentB]

ok thanks, and mountain is the same color than the cross, black

[valajda]

Yes, sure.

[VincentB]

Thank you so much for your help Jan

Servos are installed

No problem, Vincent.

I have just found you used A123 Rx battery. I want to use one in my glider too. Which servos do you used? Are they HV (High Voltage) type?

And what about the metal plate under antennas of Rx? Does it works without problem?

[VincentB]

Servo are not HV, I use a regulator Jeti Max Bec
Of course the end of antenna will be outdoor, and I will make testing before covering, I think that's no more problem like a carbon fuselage
In my Triplan Clément in full metal I don't have problem with receiver

[valajda]

I see, let the construction go on well.
