  1. Thanks Alan, it does look like it! However, when the wood was all pulled out there in the bottom was a yellowed plan! Cheers.
  2. Hi Folks, been a while since I posted! Found and old C.A.P kit in my stores, and now looking for plans for it, as it comes complete with pre-cut parts and accessories, including a cowl, but no plans, tried googling, but getting no where fast ? Cheers.
  3. Thanks Richard, Slough Models did the Blaze for £99 if the Lightning is around £120 then I might try it!
  4. Still got my blaze flying on a regular basis and still enjoying it as a first choice grab and go model. My question remains as for the blizzard for a slight dive performance gain and £100 plus or more,  is it worth it over the £100 rtf blaze? Dont know much about the lightning I may have been tempted to get one as my blaze is looking a bit worn now but from a quick google, again is it worth it for an extra £50, might as well get another blaze once this one dies after 7 yrs use and abuse! A quick calculation on my use and abuse of my Blaze, on average it's flown twice a month 3 times each session = 6 flights a month x 6.5 yrs = 468 flights give or take, some which last 30 mins if I take my chair along else it's bombing around for 10 mins!

  5. Great - thanks both, will check out hobbyplastics.
  6. I've always liked and wanted a Super Decathlon model, with its large body and slow flying characteristics while being some what aerobatic capable, so I thought it's about time I did something about it....... ...thing is I really want a Hanger 9 model, (although I know Seagull do a good version too), but I want to use petrol and the H9 one is too big at 100cc for me, do they or anyone else make a good quality 50cc version, or even 30cc? I know the seagull 120 equals roughly about a 20 - 26cc petrol if I am correct so maybe a 30cc will do in one or would this be too much? (I know you can never have too much - but will a dle 30cc fit?) Ideally want a 500c though!     Edited By Delta Whiskey on 12/07/2017 15:58:25
  7. Yep it was a good day, even if it was a little cold and windy, I managed to tow a fellow flyers vintage glider up a couple of times with Big Bird, then a long coloured streamer attached looked good from the ground. Look forward to seeing your pics Mike! Lots there as you say, really enjoyed it sad to pack up my gear at the end for the last time at KP ! Now to get into a routine, find a job and get used to the new site. Hopefully sense will prevail and the green belt status will be retained and we may be able to return some day!
  8. Update: Good News, we have secured a one year contract with a local Cricket club who have just installed a new cricket square and cannot use it for 18 months for it to fully bed in, they are more than happy to let us us the outfield and beyond as long as we go nowhere near the new sqaure! At least this keeps the club going whilst we look for something more permanant. Although we are still called Kempton Park Model Flying Club (for now), we will not be based there anymore and after enjoying some 26 years there with a nice private area, great strip, pits, porta cabin and 1/8th buggy race track. Still sad but at least we have somewhere to fly for a year! Oh lets hope still though it remains GREEN BELT LAND, and that the Conservative Council that is entertaining the UK Jockey Club about a possible 1500 homes +  to be built there, do not get back in after May !

  9. Thanks Mike, I like that ! Timer ticking at: **LINK** let's hope we can get at least some flying in before the END!
  10. and how it will look soon with developers and councillors rubbing their hands and on a beach somewhere keeping away from anything like this!:
