Mass build

Post by Cliff Evans »

I have approached our esteemed Chris Williams with the idea of producing a plan for a mas build much as the PSS lads do. Obviously, it would need to be a model that we would all have some interest in but the idea is there. If you would be interested, subject of course to subject, please fill out the poll. The Poll will run for 10 days. Chris is getting itchy fingers to start his next project.

Hi Cliff,

As next year is the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in France could a possible mass build be one of the assault gliders that were used at that time? Horsa glider perhaps?

Or better still, something that flies! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜

How about the SZD 36? Something that straddles both vintage and modern?

Now now Elliot. In my opinion, it needs to be something simple and quick to build preferably slab-sided and about 1/6 scale. Maybe even the Skylark 1.

I like that idea, I already have one.

Not so much a mass build, then, more a one-off...! Much taken with the idea of the Skylark 1, though, so Scroll Saw Therapy has begun 8-)

Much as I like the idea of a mass build, Iโ€™ve still got a bench full of Topaze at the moment. And quite possibly may still have by the time that Skylark fledges!
