WHO'S BUILDING WHAT FOR 2021

[Barry_Cole]

I have resorted to buying a kit for a tiny little vintage free flight model (with an electric motor).

And some small radio gear??

Chris probably has enough sawdust to make a model from!!

Barry, I had it all sitting in a box waiting just for a new model. I was a boy scout don't you know - Be Prepared!

And crikey hasn’t radio gear got small! This tiny thing has almost the same torque as the old bricks we were screwing into our models 40 years ago. Digital technology just keeps getting better.

Preparations are made to start the build of a scale 1:3 Slingsby T6 Kirby Kite. This one of my own designs requested by Cliff Evans. I will create a build thread on the forum. It will not be a fast built. A challenge will be the ply planking because I want to have a scale finish, that means a clear varnished surface. This asks for extra care/work/time to get neat joint lines between the ply sections particular on the fuse front end. I prefer the later used curved trailing edge of the rudder, canopy option could be both.
A computer rendered picture of the model is included in the attachments.

There are two of these being built here Jilles, just cannot get any photos from the builders!

The Bergfalke Convertible is coming together...

[Barry_Cole]

Well, I guess if you cannot be bothered to make a canopy and finish the job properly, then that's an easy way out...

Trust me...a standard canopy is much easier....!
