Busy repair workshop

Or behind me wing rack!!

You nasty pair!!

We wuv you reelly..

Not a lot going on with the forum at the mo so all the projects must be getting finished as the weather is so bad any updates

Repaired the prop stud on the zenoah so the geebee is now ready for balancing....

Sold the GT9 petrol from the TANGO because it was S*&T so waiting for a OS 55AX to arrive and got to fit that...

And cancelled the stick kit that i had ordered as i was offered a big noisy P-47 THUNDERBOLT and just couldn't resist it so just got to fit a reciever to that and its ready to go .. again...

so much for sticking to petrol the OPTIFUEL is on its way

Thought I would wake up an old thread.....

As the field is sooooo soft in the middle (no good for jets or my poor, heavy landings) I have dragged the old Uno Wot out of the garage loft to repair the damage caused by Ray's Wot 4 trying to mount it in flight! Once i've done that (should be done tonight) I might complete the recovering job that I started about 9 years ago, on my Art Chester's Jeep........
http://www.daisey-designs.com/nx13688/jeep/jeep.htm ............ so that I have a variety of models to fly during the winter.

Anyone else doing a build or refurb??

I've got the last bits to do on the SBach with OS GT33, mainly install batts and balance, will prob start my lil Sebart Sbach 30 size leccy, still to sort busted tail plane on giant Wot4 (Must remember not to run 30cc engines at full bore next time!) maybe get the Bullet slope soarer sticky taped together after that.....

Oh, and got to squeeze xmas in as well!!

I have made a slow start on the Nick Ziroli JU87 STUKA 100" wing span not rushing it, building it while this weather is bad will post up some pictures later

That sounds great John, certainly look forward to your build posts on this one..... Wot power will be up at the sharp end? and what sort of weight will she be when ready to fly?

few pictures of the Stuka








Hi Ray going to keep this bugger light not over building it ,will stick to the plan and not deviate learned a lot building the Mustang,i,m fitting the MVVS 58 once its fully run in and reliable loads of power ,as for weight i have read lots on the scalebuilders site and if its 28lbs ish will fly like a foamy

Not so sure you really want it to fly like a foamy John

Its gonna be a grand sight to see over our patch thats for sure!

Not a lot going in my workshop this winter...

Just the sundowner which i took as a swap for the GEEBEE its ready just needs balancing and control throws setting up..




And then got to get started on sorting out the few things that need doing on the Extra ready for plenty of flying next year...





look at the state of my shed what a dump better sort that out too...

never mind tidying the shed,,,, rake those fekin leaves up or you' 'll not have much lawn left come spring time!

Busy few nights and now got another Yt Adrenaline ready (MkI, Red & White) It is a bit tatty but hopefully will be good all the same this one has a Moki 1.35 to power it, fingers crossed I have been searching around the shed for old radio gear that will need a good range check first

bring on the

Moki 1.35.........Very powerfull!!

Just don't run it on high nitro and/or purely synthetic fuel

I got given a 2.10 that had been run on Synthetic only fuel and seized up. After a strip down, the bore was re-honed and a new rind fitted. I found it loved Southern Models Double Lube 5%
Which was 9% synthetic and 9% castor with 5% nitro

Weathers been crap so got a bit done on the stuka





Coming together nicely

That looks awesome john, really makes me want to have a go at building ... probably start with something a little bit less complicated tho...

After being let out of work early for the holidays Adrenaline had its maiden all trimmed after a dead stick and belly pan dropping off

C'mon chaps. I can't be the only member with new builds and/or repairs to do???

I know of at least one other new model in the club.....Hobbins!!??

You must all be doing something that can be of note to forum users (please, model plane stuff only!!)

That puts me out then.

Nuts.

OK its not a plane although you could imagine it to be a Plane sim cockpit and not for car racing.







Just to keep my hand in building

I don't fancy your chances in that Daron, at the banger racing circuit. However, as it runs on butane, not too many people will choose to crash into you!

Butane or methane???

Well Daron at least you don't have to worry about the maiden flight mine you we could find that easer in the potato field

Yeah that is true John
