Still a great looking model,I reckon its the same vintage as us.

Stay cool

This was mine back in 2001

Eros without a doubt,just wait till Bob Cotsford come along coz he has one and its just as pretty.

could not agree more.

This is not good news,just have to wait and see what happens.

JIm Carss NE23----- wait and see dept.

Hope you have plenty in stock Ken and I know where you live !!!

Try swapping the plug with the one from the other engine,a hot plug can cause the very problem of throwing the prop.

Worth a try and costs nowt.

Pat

may have some info on the Eagle,a pal of mine lives in Amble and he knows the chap who owns it,could be based at eshott.

the most odd ball aircraft Iv'e seen is this one,came into newcastle about 3 times early summer and sounds like a demented wasp

Piaggio,greek reg.

Pat

We are 6 miles east of Newcastle airport bang on the center line of runway 25,snapped this RAF A400 doing a spot of training,did about 3 laps and then headed south., this was about 10 days ago.

Can anyone tell me the width of the Attlia u/c track,building from an old Flair plan and the u/c set up is not shown,I'm assuming the kit came with pre bent u/c so there was no need to show it on the plan.

Hi Mark

Unfortunately i don't have what you are after but this is mine from many years ago,scratch built from an old plan,I originally had a ASP90 up front,I later fitted an OS120 fs and sold it to another club member and he is delighted with the performance.

Its sraightforward build so nothing to worry about

Martin

The Gipsy was built three yrs. ago and still has not been flown,the model is scaled up to 58" span.

I have a thing regarding vintage models,just checked the hangar and have hanging up -------------------------

Two Veron Cardinals,a scaled down KK Falcon ( 66" ) a 72" Buzzard Bombshell and a scaled up Redskin from a Peter Holland plan,I scaled it up on a length of old wall paper and have now called it Vymura.

One of these days i may get down to the patch and give them an airing..

Gipsy was a nice easy build if I remember correctly.

Go for it Martin,this is mine with OS20 up front

Cliff

mine is OS No. 8 medium
