Masher Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 My 15 is a second hand Thunder Tigre of unkown history so maybe it's short on power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Seems quiet here! Levanter seems to be the only one building at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowerman Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Although I didn't sign up for the mass build I have started to build a Mini Jazz. No photos yet as I will wait until I do something sufficiently different. Not sure about Greenacres, no 'A' yet also depends on SWMBO's health.

Andrew767 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi Masher Very slow build on mine due to work etc. I'll try to get some photos on in the next week or so. Getting to Greenacres will depend on work but i would like to go. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Great stuff, sounds like the Mini Jazz builders are slow starters but hopefully quick finishers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masher Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I was going to say the MJ builders were coming up fast from behind but that didn't sound right either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew767 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 It might be better to just leave it??.....Lol Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowerman Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 A bit late but my Mini Jazz is finally built (with temporary cowl) and ready for maiden flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Looks great.. Let us know how it goes. I would keep the throws pretty low for the first flight. The elevator is very sensitive to trim changes. You will need to fly it! Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew767 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Looks fantastic Roy.....Havn't finished mine yet due to health problems but looking forward to seeing yours fly at the club. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Fairgrieve Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Now go fly it and put the sticks in the corners. So much fun. Just have a bit of height the first time. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Like it Roy, Yellows my favourite colour for seeing, here's my copy ....didn't have the plan, just needs u/c fitting then a colour scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowerman Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Thanks chaps. Andrew you missed it, next time maybe. Note - no flying this weekend due to Tour-de- France. Martin Followed your advice and kept the rates low then found I needed them lower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birgir Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi everyone This is my first post to this forum but I have been reading it a lot.

A building thread in Icelandic (Thank God for Google translate) and some more pictures can be found at **LINK** Now I just have to wait for suitable weather for the maiden flight Regards, Birgir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Fairgrieve Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 I flew mine yesterday. Repairs almost complete. I had just transferred the model over to my Taranis TX. Thought that all throws were as per the old system, sadly not. To say it was an arrival would have been very kind. Main damage was a broken horizontal stabiliser (one side only) soon rebuilt and covered. Throws reduced significantly for the next flight, and for the first time I am going to experiment with EXPO!!!

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Chin up Kev, you're having one of those spells, it'll pass Finished my Jazznot, bolt u/c on and go fly it now simple colour scheme coz i'm rubbish at it John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fixed and ready to go again. If you can not tell the only change is the horizontal stabiliser now covered in red film as opposed to the white. As she was. As she is now on the left.
