Re: Who's building what for 2018
Something different ! Just started researching a PSS Jet Provost project. So far, have sourced some drawings and a plan. The plan wing section looks like one of the NACA semi-symmetrical family. Not sure about this on the slope and I was wondering more about a Selig 7055, or Eppler 205 /374. Any views on this greatly appreciated...
I'm aiming for a fast(ish) model with good penetration and reasonable energy retention. Probably 'stand-off' scale in terms of detail. As this is my first PSS attempt, I'm thinking of a light but strong model which can be ballasted up for different wind strengths. I have some carbon, Kevlar, Liteply and grp knocking around looking for a home !
Thanks for any assistance,
Dave

I’m looking forward to following this one.
The G109 is a lovely looking motor glider. & a great pity that the RAF recently scrapped their fleet.

Another Minimoa just about ready for covering. This is from Chris's original 1/4 plan

William,
You are a little behind in the race. Chris is getting ready to paint his, next week.

Re: Who's building what for 2018
4Unlimited : Many thanks for your post on the PSS JP. Andy Blackburn has now 'talked' me through the various pro's and con's of the different wing sections, loadings, spans and washout details. His design is great, if a little small. I'll be aiming for about a 4 foot(ish) span with rudder and flaps to boot... better get building now before the next project overtakes me !

Maidened the 1/4 scale Minimoa today in a very light wind, which was not blowing true on the slope. Never got her above the horizon but very chuffed. Weighs a paltry 12lbs, just right for an old geezer like me...

No Criss, not old , just weathered! Mellow yellow sounds like a song?
