Alan_Perse:
With the help of John Pearson, a great big parcel awaited me when I came home from work today. In it, a lovely A4 Skyhawk, my first PSS model. Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction John.
It looks like a great kit. It has everything bar the servos, Rx and battery. Here are some pics.








I sincerely doubt i'll have it ready for the PSS fly in. But I will make a start.

Happy Days:
You “sincerely doubt” !!! :shock:

I sincerely HOPE you will have it ready Alan. I’m sure you could assemble that in a few hours, looks to me as though it all slots together. And if you haven’t already ordered the servos, they should only take a few days to arrive. The Glide-In is three weekends away, you can do it, honestly you can!

Remember, “He who hesitates is lost” ………..Go for it Alan, you might surprise yourself! :D

Alan_Perse:
I don't know why, but I got it in my mind that the fly-in was only 2 weeks away. I'll give it a go and see how I get on.

the Pope:

Hi Alan

You will have the A4 build over a few nights, if you need servos, Richard does a range of 1.8kg mg servos, I use them for all my small models. The model will go together great, the only problem I had, was with the decals, water slide transfers, they just will not stick to the foam, so I got a few plastic type sticky back which done the job great. If you are going to paint the model, use the test pots (water based) which you get from the local paint shops, then use a water type varnish to finish, cheap and easy to use system, as used on my Mig 29.

Hopefully you will have the model ready for the PSS, would look great in the air, if there were two A4 skyhawks flying in formation off the slope :clap:
