It is covered in grey film from Hobbyking, the painted parts of the nacelles are from a Tamiya rattle can. The decals are from the E Flite A10 they can be obtained as a spare part. Pilot is from Motion RC Hope this helps, Bill

Can anyone recommend a lacquer to spray on foam models?

Forum members' new models: Let's see them.
william forster replied to Paul Marsh's topic in All Things Model Flying
Just completed a couple of test flights all seems well , just a couple of trim tweeks. I enjoyed the build, covering was a challenge -
I flew mine last week it is very fast !! and sits really nicely when flying straight and level I made a skid to rest on as I was worried about the durability of the fins. The comments re the elevator throttle mix is very useful as when throttle is closed there is a significant pitch change.

Has anyone built and flown one of these models?

Cloud Clipper
william forster replied to David Holland 2's topic in Vintage Kits, Semi-Kits and Plan Projects
Hi Steven. I built the Cloud Clipper earlier this year. It was a very easy to build kit for anyone with some experience of balsa bashing! All the materials where of good quality and sufficient quantity. I chose the electric version, I added a doubler to the firewall to get the motor further forward but it still needed lead in the nose to get the C of G correct. I also used a 2200 4s lipo stood vertically behind the firewall. I bought mine from Kings Lynn model shop but I see Century UK have them listed. Hope this helps, Bill -

Thanks guys for the info, on further inspection it appears that I have both the glider and the E version. There is no apparent difference in the parts but without a plan to refer to it is difficult to say. My preference would be to build the E version.

I have been given two old Balsa cabin Sonata kits, sadly there are no plans with either. Does anyone have a copy of the plan that I could buy/borrow or copy. Bill

A pic of my Cloud Clipper from the Value Planes kit it flies beautifully on electric power. -
Has anyone built one of these models from the Sarik plan. I believe it was originally an RC Model World plan, not sure if it was a freebie or a feature?
