  1. Good job Peter. This is a seriously attractive model. Looks like the plan will be a keeper when I get my hands on the October issue.
  2. That's certainly a nice looking plane Percy. The classics never go out of style. My plane will be bit more re-imagined than that. I'm turning it into a parasol wing open cockpit plane with turtle deck. If fact, you'll probably need a lot of imagination see the resemblance by the time I've finished. Watch this space. Thanks Onetenor. That's very useful information to have.
  3. Thanks for the support guys. I lost my modelling mojo for a little while there, but it's back now and I'm enjoying planning my new project. It will be an OD(ish) re-imagining of Boddington's Tyro Major. Will share as it happens.
  4. The flying field is adjacent to a swamp which can be seen in the video on the previous page. The vegetation is 7-8 feet high and the field can't be used on the weekend if it rains during the week as the swamp overflows. This is now Jemima's permanent home Some weeks ago, I was flying and the plane ditched in the swamp. On with the gumboots (Wellingtons to you) and an exploration of Amazonian proportions failed to locate the model. It started raining the next day and didn't give up for three weeks. By the time I was able to get back in, there was a massive amount of new undergrowth and an extended search was fruitless. It seems Jemima has become part of the local ecosystem. I wasn't too cut up about losing the model (we scratch builders are a philosophical lot by necessity) but I would like to have used the gear in another plane. Oh well, onward and upward. My new one is almost ready for starting
  5. Kevin: That's good news if we get to see it eventually. KC: You're right of course, but I buy it every month anyway.
  6. Lorenz: I'm thinking the same way. Stu: I don't think it was a misprint. In December they said the free plans for Jan were going to be the Storch and Bambina. It appears that the Storch was substituted with Vamoose. Vamoose wasn't mentioned in the Dec issue. The Storch doesn't seem to be mentioned in the Jan issue at all Tom: They used to do larger models in Aviation Modeller International as well. They would strap them to the outside. I have plans for an 84" Tupelov TU 142 and a C130 Hercules.
  7. Thanks Kevin; mystery solved. I'm assuming you're talking about the Feb issue. I won't see that until next month. I don't suppose it would be feasible to spread it over a couple of issues? They could sell twice as many mags
  8. I'm sitting here looking at my December 2016 issue (we get them a bit later here) and on the Next Issue page it says: Free Pro Plan - Feisler Storch To kick off 2017 and spread across a big bumper 2-sheet plan we'll bring you Chris Golds' latest design in the form of this 132" span version of the famous STOL aircraft I must say I was pretty excited about this and was keen to see it was feasible to be my next major project. I picked up my January 2017 issue this morning and found that there is a free plan for Vamoose and Bambina, but no mention of the Storch. Does anyone know what happened here and if we will see this plan in a future issue? I've searched the forums and can't find any mention of it there either.

  13. Hi Daveyboy. Just read your entire blog. Fantastic work. Very neat. I adore the Fournier and will build one myself one day. There's a scheme here that might suit. Any updates?
  14. Thanks for the thread BEB. It's great to see real world applications laid out for this fantastic transmitter.
  15. Posted by eflightray on 22/08/2016 10:29:21: Hi Robert, she's 90" span, scratch built in Depron and balsa. The outer wing panels are detachable for easier transport, the centre section is also removable from the fuselage. Good progress with your Cat, (shower room ?, we call it a 'garden' ) . Ray. Edited By eflightray on 22/08/2016 10:30:06 Hi both Robert & Ray. Once you slide the wing tips on, what method do you use to retain them?
