Forum members' new models: Let's see them.

There is no specific thread on members' new models, apart from one model topics. I'm starting the thread to anyone who has just finished a model, to photograph it and put on here.

A photograph and a short description of each one is ideal and lets see the models getting ready for their maiden.

First a H9 P-40 Warhawk, with E-flight Twist n' turn retracts and a OS 61 FS engine.

thats very nice paul , every time i see a nice model i want to start building one with all the nice models on this forum i'd have to be a millionaire , build 24/7 , and live to at least 300 years old .

Hawker Hunter with Rolls Royce Avon and Flg Office Boz Robinson at the contols.

Hobbyking 90mm Hunter with Mercury 90mm edf for 6s 4000 mah Lipo

This Stinson had its maiden flight today. All ok except for final flight, tried to go around as it was a but high and the engine died. So a little heavy in the long grass, no damage luckily, except to my pride.

Ok I give in, the pics are in the album but I can't get it in the message, I click the button but nothing happens

Don't give in Willy......take a read through here & you should be fine.......

Let me know if you have any problems!!!

PS that Hunter looks wonderful Pete.....

Hobby King T45 Goshawk, with the stock motor, fan & ESC as supplied. Maiden flight last weekend - surprisingly quiet & jet-like sound! Looking forward to flying it again this weekend.

Ahha I managed it

the stinson

There's also this , but I am far from skilled enough to fly it yet,

Here's my Nijhuis 72" Spitfire in base coat, I'll try and fly her this weekend before the paint goes on.

Try re-sizing the image. I find that trying to upload 2500 pixel images are too much and makes this little size go gaga and crash.
Use Photoshop, for example to resize around 1024x768 and upload onto the site. Much quicker and works.

Max Thrust A-1 Skyraider from Hobbyking complete and ready for maiden.

1600mm wingspan

2.8kg

Flaps, Airbrakes and retracts

4s 14.8v 4000mAh lipo

Just about to head out with this for the first time: Hobbyking SPAD XIII, 700mm span

Although I built this a few years ago with brushed motors, I'm currently re-furbishing it and fitting brushless inrunners, using Nigel Hawes advice in the current RCME. I'm having to make a few changes so hope it qualifies for this thread. It's a 51" span Hughes XF11, scratch built using three views of the full size as the starting point. The only drawback was having to slightly widen the very small fuselage nacelle to get everything in, but otherwise it's scale and looks the part.

Re-painted Lander 70mm foamy EDF. I decided not to use retracts to save weight: takes off from a dolly and belly lands on the grass.

PND Sea Vixen. Twin Wemotech 70mm EDFs with HET 2W-25 motors. Now complete but not yet flown.
