Fun Flyer Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Posted by Peter Miller on 08/03/2018 08:20:54: Funny that. I am just building my fifth Super 60 since 1963, all different in various ways Edited By Peter Miller on 08/03/2018 08:21:37 Now you're making me feel guilty for not starting another S60 Peter. Especially since I already have the fuselage framework and a servicable wing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Suoer Sixty you always have with you. Peggy Sue is new and alot more aerobatic, even than my current one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 I have an OS FS 52 inverted in Super Marauder and a 48 Surpass inverted in my RWD5. No problems at all. but I like the set up in Ballerina and a few others. You pays your money and takes your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashnook Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Is there anyone making a cut wood pack for PS-2? I have built and flying the Balerina from a wood kit - nice plane, always attracts comments!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Not sure if they have got round to it yet or if they will....They should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashnook Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Just got the Mag, lovely looking plane, thanks. Will definitely go on my build list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I hate that Peggy Sue 2. I have a load of kits ready to build and now PM goes and publishes that horrible model (I'm trying to convince myself) that I really won't(?) build. Or will I? Seriously, I'm tempted. I even took the staples out from my mag so I could study the drawing. Mine would be electric but high wingers (and biplanes for that matter) make my usual battery access method via a top hatch (including the cockpit in the case of my Ballerina) more difficult. I do prefer slightly larger models (1.5metre/60" ish) but I like the shape. Really another winner from the prolific Peter Miller.

Peter Miller Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thank you Geoff... And it is only 2" short of your preferred 60" span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashnook Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yes, my Ballerina is electric too, again, battery through a removable top hatch. The PS-2 will also be electric. Not got round to studying the plan yet. Would be interesting to see someone who has done an electric conversion. Currently building another Lyra, 1990's bi-plane plan. Had one for years and really liked it, cannot remember what hapend to it! Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 It hasn't been out long enough for anyone to do any conversions or even build one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the plan quotes 48" but I haven't measured it. Which is correct? And, of course, you're welcome Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 The data panel says 58" But I have just ,measured the actual wing and it IS 58" span. I will make no comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 There is a little confusion but I also measured it and it IS my ideal 58" span I have 2x 58" span wings on my bench right now for my DB Cirrus/Gypsy Moth and it's a good size IMO. Like Goldilock's porridge not too big not too small. No further comment needed. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Z Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hi On my list to build, looks very nice. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Nice looking model Peter. Very tempted once the building board is clear.to see about modifications for electric. I am surprised that nobody else has started building yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hi Graham SLEC tell me that they have already has requests for pre cut parts and they are working on that now. I see that 4 Plus have already listed the motor, speed controller and propeller suitable for Peggy Sue 2 in their website **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 That link to 4Max didn't work for me Peter, this might be better (second one down). Good news if SLEC are up for the CNC parts soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fun Flyer Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The mag arrived just the other day. I've read the build article but haven't pulled the plan yet as I probably couldn't resist it if I did. The model does have a definite, "build me" appeal. It deserves a four stroke though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Very pretty model.............even prettier if it had a tad of dihedral, looks a bit odd as a 'flattie'.........no offence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Peggy Sue 2 is inspired by the Monocoupes, easpecially the clip wing 110. Monocoupes do not have dihedral I love Monocoupes If you want to make it look like a Cessna orc Cub feel free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Parkes Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 It seems a long time since any one posted any building news about PS2, I am about 3/4 way through the build on my plane , which is electric powered,the only mods to convert to electric being to move F1 forward about 25 mm,this dim. depends on the length of your motor, I usually have to lengthen the nose to get the plane to balance, but with PS2 i was surprised to see that on initial trial balancing she was turning out nose heavy, moving the rudder and elevator servos slightly rearwards cured this, you can cut a battery hatch just in front of the windscreen forward to the new position of F1, then if you deepen the cut out in F2 you can slide a 4S 5000 battery down into the fus, I was not certain how to hinge the ailerons but eventually went for fully radiussing the LE of the aileron and used knuckle hinges burried into the aileron works a treat.

Peter Miller Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hi Geoff That sounds really good. I shall look forward to seeing your completed model and hearing how she performs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Parkes Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thanks Peter, just ordered the covering from H.K. managed to fit the 2 servos for the elev. and rudder yesterday, only the u/c to sort and the cowel to form and we should be away,I think maybe by the weekend after this should see it ready for first flight, a fellow member of my club is also building an PS2 but using a 4 stroke I/C so we can compare the different forms of power, as I us 4s 5000 batteries the duration should be approx. the same - will keep you posted regards geoff.

Peter Miller Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 That will be a in interesting comparison. I have another high wing model in mind but a rather different one. A bit of fun really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If you have wondered about the name of this model I think it was inspired by a Buddy Holly song. The explanantion of the tilte of the song is here for those too young to remember - unfortunately the lady has just died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
