Yep I agree with Daithi, rigging is a pain in the butt down at the flying site, but without all those turnbuckles, wires and odd looking adjustment thingos it rates poorly when showing it off, ( lots of works for minimum flurry of handclaps ) So my wishs would be the Piston Provost,(no retracts yippy ) I actualy looking forward to the plan Cheers all Barry

Outstanding Danny,............................. there's not much more to say Barry Edited By A.A. Barry on 09/02/2016 23:55:46

I am "over the moon" with supprise and joy that the Whirlwind has made the short list, another time hey Tony???????/ or this year?????, it's been over 5 yrs since that you suggested, that it was one you wanted to build  Erflog, as for the long moment on the W/wind, , carefully chosen wood and the use of other light materials, the issue is greatly reduced, bearing in mind that you got either 2 x I.C engines up ft or a lipo battery stuck in the fuz, will compensate for that issue a well.

Geof are the plans you have for the Whirlwind, workable, if so would you be so kind to send me a copy......PLEASE, pretty please.. been almost 12 months since the project started..let me know Thanks and I trust your health issues improve A.A.Barry

Well hear i go again, new model just finished, yep great, all looks fine until I find that I have both ailerons moving in the same direction , is there a way to program the tx to reverse one on the aileron servo, without adding a electronic servo reverser, the model is rather small and another bit of electronic box/board, will be rather messy Any help guys????????????????????????????????????

Yep Martyn I agree, Hawker Fury with the option to add a lower radiator and other small differences to turn it into a Nimrod Barry

Any help with a plan or a Blenhiem??? thanks Barry

Craig, this the problem that happes a lot, different manufactures have different machine tolerances. So what is needed is bolts that screw in with out the slop, H\K bolts vary in tolerances, bolt per bolt Order new ones from the DLE manufactures and all should be good All the best Barry

NIce Colin...... the Blenheim is a interesting one.......i'd be keen for that,  along with the CR42 Barry Edited By A.A. Barry on 17/01/2016 12:45:53 Edited By A.A. Barry on 17/01/2016 12:48:17

Well I just done a rough count on the planes most wanted, for a plan, so far WEll out in front are :- Hawker Hind /Nimrod.........8 Percivil Proverst.................8 Zero ..........5 P38............4 Sea fury ........3 A few with one's and two's, so keep your fav aircraft coming Barry

WEll the HIND/ Fury are getting a good mention Barry

NIce work Robert.......the men set it off ...love it... Barry

I'm here again the Whirlwind must get a mention, but as youv'e done the closest best thing this year...Mosquito, I want push for a Whirlwind, My choices would be :- 1 Hawker HInd E.P. 60/70" 2 Junkers 52m ...iron annie ( 3 EP ) 72" 3 Percivil Provost...... I.C. 60/70" There are so many fine aircraft to choose from, Cheers Barry   . Edited By A.A. Barry on 12/01/2016 13:56:38

I generally go home if it starts raining B

Jon my 2 bob's worth ...... I have not had the pleasure of owning Laser, but where as large models require deep pockets which I don't have,....to get your engines a greater niche of the engine sales, reducing the size and this would bring down he cost.... more motors mean more people involved....petrol powered 10cc and 15cc, should be a grand starting point, Trimming down the crankcase to reduce weight and achieve a better look, would also help As I said my 2 bob's worth Barry

Happy New Year Danny, your skills are amazing...... Barry

Well I've had several updates over the last couple of weeks, I now have lost "EDGE" all together luckily Google chrome wasn't deleted on the set up, pics I can downloaded from my SD card, but where they have gone, I dunno, .....big black hole....somewhereSO it is not a happy New Year, can anyone help please????

Very clever Danny Barry

yes, somehow Westland must have had a few odd bits laying around........"perhaps if we put this on there and this he....by George I think we've done" Barry

At 13lbs ...(a shade under 6kg) I would think the 5065 will do the job nicely, From all I have read on the subject, it appeared to be a good flyer, it failed in the speed and manageability trials due mainly because of the upper gun. It simply too heavy for the wing loading, We as modelers wont have that problems. I will try to keep mine down to around 11.0lbs or 5.kg. Interesting subject Barry Edited By A.A. Barry on 24/11/2015 12:48:18

Yes I also have the Laser Design Services model, I bought a short kit, good value ( cheap shipping and the "cut " is 1st class, I have sworn to get this one started as soon as I finish off the Whirlwind Nice size at 73/4", because of the tapered nose, ( as most British WW2 fighters are) I bought a 5065 motor for it, if you start a build thread, I may join in with ya, let me know please Cheers Barry

To save a few $'s, I am going to photo copy the "free plan" in it's folded markings and then tape them all together, that way I will have a working plan on thicker paper and replacable. Cheers Barry

Geof/Dylan, is there any updates on the Whirly, I just may build #4. bigger is better......for this aircraft Barry

I actually went thro the sheeting on the aera where the T.E of the wing, I then added more balsa inside the fuz, that aera was the trickiest part of the build Cheers Barry

Keep up the good work, Rob
