Jon H Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 are kits included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 1) A4 Skyhawk (PSS mass build). Airframe completed and radio installed but not covered with film yet. 2) 'Alley Cat' by Peter Miller, with OS 30 FS. Progress, as above! 3) 'Holly' by Derek Woodward. Leccy conversion for 3s 2200mAh LiPo. Wing complete but not Fuselage. I like to have several models 'in-build' and switch between projects so I don't get bored, eventually one gets finished- that is the theory! I am not going to start another project until I get the Skyhawk completed and flown but, the Peter Russell's 362 Delta in this months mag is very tempting....

Peter Miller Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Only four but that includes drawing the plans and I have done nothing this year at all though I have started drawing a plan Super Marauder RWD 5 Kitehawk Destiny Edited By Peter Miller on 24/04/2017 13:55:35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven S Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I've built and flown my "Wiggo", I've built the fuselages for a "Woodys Pusher" and a "Das Ghosten Flugboot". They are all scratchbuilt from RCM&E plans or from Outerzone. I'm working on the wings for the Flugboot and the Woodys Pusher, but I want ailerons and a different mounting system so it is taking a bit longer.

Cuban8 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Brian Taylor Mk1a Spitfire 70". Coming to the end of the build now but it's been a lot of work and frustrating in places, although finally very worthwhile. About half way through glassing and paint now.

Bob Cotsford Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Only last year's Ballerina from plans, plus 2 kit builds and 4 1/2 ARTFs. Unfortunately I'm not decimating them at the same rate so the house is getting overrun with the things . Garden sale? Plan - Ballerina Kit - Mini Stik, Fugly ARTFs - Wot'sWot XL, FW Ta152, P47, P56 Provost and halfway through a standard size Wot'sWot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyB Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Interesting poll, but I think the result is likely to be skewed by the disproportionate number of builders who post threads here; not a criticism, just something to be remembered when interpreting the results.

kevin b Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Mini Barnstormer, one I can't recall the name, fliu, SPAD x 2, Wren, own design Italian Warbird fun-fly (still working on it), 2 x trainers and a top secret project I'm not allowed to talk about ! Apart from that 3 kits, a couple of foamies and then there are the "restoration / repair" jobs. I like building. Retirement is going to be fun !!!

Mike Etheridge 1 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 None but there is potential in my wardrobe, a KK Caprice, and Mercury control liner that need building. In my loft there is a Veron Mini Concord and two Chris Olsen built planes waiting for works amongst the 30 odd other models, which include two Junior 60's, one KK Falcon and a Mercury Matador plus Chris Olsen's last Uproar all built from plans. Rather than build from plans I have an untouched Weston Velocity 52, a Flair SE5A and repaired Super Air and Middle phase 2 that have yet to fly.

Tim Hooper Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Just the one in progress - an o/d Civilian Coupe. It might be interesting to ask how many builds have actually reached completion in the last year. I know of quite a few modellers who routinely start a new project, only for it to lay around unfinished when a new design attracts their attention.

bouncebounce crunch Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 one plan build in progress, and a kit build resumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 None ! I'm too lazy to build from a plan these days but I have built a Veron Cardinal from a kit within the last year and am in the process of building a Baron 1914 also from a kit. The last model I built from a plan was a Chris Olsen "Uproar." I have never managed to get the model to fly successfully. The last attempt resulted in the model taking off, turning downwind then plunging into the ground breaking the wing. Wing or tail incidence wrong? C/g too far forward with that long nose? If so should I add weight to the rear or shorten the nose? I need to build a wing at the very least. I plan to maiden the Cardinal this week.

cymaz Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Barely have enough time to glue an artf together. All my time is spent teaching our two novices or flying myself. Edited By cymaz on 25/04/2017 06:02:45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Isn't anyone actually entering their numbers. Normally we get a bar chart to see what the votes are but I can't find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
