![]() 994 forum posts 2 photos | Here's what I enjoy most about taking RC video. I get the most pleasure from being able to share flights of amazing scratch built model aircraft such as this Avro Anson. Not kit. No plan. Reproduced based only on an article in 'Fly Past' magazine about the full size aircraft and took a year to construct with special attention to the interior. For me, just amazing. This video taken at the BMFA Southern Area Electric Event. Edited By Dom (Essential RC) on 09/08/2016 08:03:40 |

![]() 657 forum posts 88 photos | Dominic I think I may be able to offer a small correction to your first post. The model is built from the Duncan Hutson plan and uses the cowl and canopy mouldings - all are available from Traplet Publications (the other side to RCME...!). I spoke to the builder Mr Hardy last year at Wallop as I recognised the design straight away and have all the parts myself. Mr Hardy was kind enough to send me photos of his way of tackling the undercarriage which is slightly different to that shown by Duncan Hutson on the plan. I think your reference to details from Flypast magazine only relates to the fabulous interior that Mr Hardy has built as none of this detail is shown on Duncan Hutsons plans. You are right though, it is a lovely model and flies just right too. Edited By Alan Gorham_ on 09/08/2016 12:32:12 |

![]() 7369 forum posts 143 photos | Having read the opening post, I began to wonder if it was from the Duncan Hutson plan, and it seems it is...... And nothing wrong with that either......... It's a stunning model. Mr Hardy can certainly rest on his laurels........ Edited By Percy Verance on 09/08/2016 14:58:53 |

70 forum posts 10 photos | I am just embarking on building this model and think the undercarriage is the only thing I may have a challenge to build. Alan Gorham, I have just messaged you to see if I can see the photo's you have from Mr Hardy please.

![]() 996 forum posts 59 photos | I would not worry to much about retracts on this model. The full size very often flew with the wheels down especialy on short flights or when been flown solo. This was because the UC was retracted by a hand crank that needed a lot of turns. Good feature in January's Aeroplane Monthly. Edited By J D 8 on 17/01/2019 21:21:05 |

70 forum posts 10 photos | Thanks Percy will look in to the Mosquito retracts. Thanks for the pointer on Aeroplane monthly J D 8. I definitely want retracting undercarriage so may attempt making my own set. I have found a decent article on RCU where a guy makes a set.

Ian Wouldn't the retracts for the large Tony Nijhous (spelling?) Mosquito be similar enough to do the job? The Anson used a very different retraction method if I remember rightly, a bit more like a Dakota than the Mossie |

526 forum posts 44 photos | I (and I'm sure many others) would be very interested to learn more about how you solved the retract problems. A Whitley is on my bucket list which has a similar folding retract method of operation. Lovely model by the way, Congratulations on the build
