David Boddington designed very many models, He did a 1/5th scale plan for the Sopwith Pup. Maybe the new model you have is 1/5 rather than 1/4 scale?

Nice work Chris.

Model shops (with websites) here in France list 10mm Square balsa so it is available. Maybe mail order?

For scale models with a sheet (ali or ply) covered wing then an "open" structure would look very wrong.

Another vote for Toolstation CA. Cheap, works well and doesn't seem to go hard in the bottle like some others do.

Still using my JR 10X tx with a 2.4 module. Utterly reluable and I wouldn't think of parting with it.

Well I'm not going to accept all cookies just to view videos. So these new "updates" have just made the forum much less useful for me and much more frustrating. Hopefully the tech guys can sort this issue before users stop using the forum!

There is still the issue of not being able to watch videos without accepting all the cookies. Can the techies sort that out too please.

I have a saito 125 in a Seagull Chipmunk. It flys beautifully its not a warbird but was used by the military. No retracts but it does have flaps and landing lights

Looking for a nice Laser 200v, 180 single, or perhaps a 300v WHY?

Selling: OS FT160 gemini twin. Perfect working order. With latest twin-needle carburetter. Also twin flexible exhaust extensions and 2 x OS mufflers. Comes with instructions booklet. £425 Saito FA-115 four-stroke. Excellent condition. Original box plus manual, tools, muffler and Saito glowplug. £200

OK. Thanks

Obviously Jon is now on holiday from work. At least I hope he is. Just wondering if he can give any idea about when 200V or 300V or FT200 engines will next be available to purchase

The full size is all painted metal so plastic film won't look too out of place and will most likely be lighted than glass-fibre and paint finishing. But not necessarily so of course. Some modellers on here are super proficient at getting a great finish with minimal weight gain. The glassfibre cowling and aluminium undercarriage at least will need painting though. Other areas hard to film cover would be the ailerons, flaps elevators and rudder that all feature a triangular "corrugated" surface. Quite tricky to film over.

Deleted my post. It Christmas!
