Start roughly at 3mins. A very nice flyer that really looks the part in the air  :clap:

selleri:
Looking good!   :clap:

JohnPearson:
Thanks Fred for the video!

Gavin, I finished the fuselage in glass cloth and epoxy, than applied a few coats of paint. The wings and tail are covered in solar film, and the engine pods, again glass cloth and epoxy as they take alot of knocks when landing.
The engines  will take a 70mm fan unit, however, if you are using ducted fans, you need to strengthen the engine pods, because this is a very weak section and if one of the engines should fall off in flight or even move, the CofG will be effected big time, even on a PSS version with no fans.

Gavin I would love to see your 330 model, so let me know when you are going to fly the model as I live in Armagh and only an hours drive from Dublin.

Shamrock331:
That video is Amazing!

You must be some pilot John to send that up with no power!

The good thing is we are actually right beside each other, I'm from Newry, is it Armagh city you are from?

I covered all of the Ryanair with thick tissue and polyc (Epoxy) Is yours actually fibreglass?

Im not sure where Dublin came from, but I mentioned Droheda earlier, as this is the only flying club with the runway I need that I can find, do you know any other spots around here?

Also, instead of just seeing the A330, how would you fancy being the test pilot on the maiden? 8)

I'm too scared.....and I have a lot to learn and need to put more hours in on my petrol trainer before risking the big bird!

One of the guys at Drogheda is going to maiden the Ryanair....Id love to get a video made similar to this with the two of them in action at once!

Hi Gavin

Thanks for the offer, but I think you should leave a great model like the 330 until you are ready to fly it yourself. If you can manage to fly the 737, then you should be able to fly the bigger airliner with practice, i.e use the 737 as a test plane, the windrider range of airliners, are smooth flying models.

I live 20mins from Newry, so we are neighbours, give me a call Gavin some time on 07745458755, and we can arrange a meeting.

As for local flying sites, there are none near you with a runway. I only know two sites with a tarmac runway, northdown club, and the Ulster club, the rest of the other clubs have grass runways, and you would need a tarmac runway for the 330 to obtain a safe flying speed for take off.
