Spitfire
This one is based on a free plan given away in the
RCM&E magazine - Special Autumn 2010. The original was
designed for balsa construction and an IC engine.
Mine is constructed in Depron foam and powered by
electric.
Mig 1.42/1.44
I wanted to build a modern 'jet', but not use a ducted fan, but a ducted propeller.
Well two propellers should be better than one, so.........
She's fairly big, made from Depron foam, and has flown quite successfully.
Mitchell B25
My second big twin, (C160 was first). Scratch Built - '92-'93. First flight - June '93.Still around and still flying, (occationally), still magic in the air.
Span - 93" Elevator, Ailerons, Rudder, Throttle, Retracts, Bomb drop.
Original finish Current finish
B17 The Flying Fortress
Once you have tried multi motor models the urge to build and fly another is so strong.
Scratch built - '03-'07. Took a while as I keeped getting those head scratching moments where you put it out of sight and build something else.
Span - 100" Elevator, Ailerons, Rudder, Throttle, Retracts.
Early days. Ready to go.
Douglas SBD Dauntless
My latest model, (mid Sept 08). Mostly built in Depron, just to prove to myself I could.Span - 67".
Short Sunderland
A scratch built, (no plan), Depron foam design.Flown off grass and also off water.Span - 90"
If you're going to build a flying boat..........
A-10 Thunderbolt
Scratch built in Depron foam, not EDF but with props just in front of the nacelles.Span - 59.5"
Avro Vulcan
Scratch built using white polystyrene foam and a little blue foam then BPC'ed, covered in brown paper stuck on with pva.Span - 48"
The Vulcan will always be a magical shape.
Majestic Major - (from the Ben Buckle plan)
Always wanted a big 'Vintage' model, and now I feel old enough myself to justify one.Majestic by name and majestic in flight.
Span - 88"
All built up structure. Flies great.
Supermarine Walrus - (from a free RCM&E plan)
Thsi is one small model I have fancied building since the plan came out in 2008, finally did it. She is small at 38" span compared to the Sunderland's 90", Constructed from Depron foam, and like calm flying conditions at slightly over 11oz.
Condor II
A second version of an electric assisted glider, original plan by Cloud Models.Span - 80"
Avro 504k (ish) - (from a very old plan)
Now I don't do true scale, just models that look and fly right in the air, hence some 'non-scale' parts and finish.Span - 48"
Depron Eagle
This is loosely based on the EPP Eagle, but I had some depron foam to play with.
Miles Sparrow Hawk (an
ARTF kit by Seagull Models)
I just fanced an interesting looking aerobatic model and
this one fitted the part, plus I was too lazy to build one..
