Alright, so after our last meeting, looks like there is demand for a PSS group project.
I have listed a few, mainly some that I am currently working on, or already at different design stages, but the project is open to ideas and the stuff you like!
The PSSA Hurricane is a proven design, and readily available ( https://www.sarikhobbies.com/product/pss-hawker-hurricane-53/ )
The P51D will happen regardless as I have another project.
A-10.. Well, you so it flying
F86 - Started a simple design last year, but look at this month RCM&E, and you have a plan for one of them if I am correct.
Gloster Meteor... No comment Andrew! >:D
Take in consideration the various building skills, time and material s needed for some of the projects.
Anyway, you asked for it, so here it is :) Shoot!
-
Hi Fred,
I am happy to go with the flow on this one. Always been a fan of the Learjet though.
Keep up the good work

Fred, I think the why bothers will win this time! What do you think?
-
why bothers are on "Nil Point" :)
-
A slightly bigger P51 would be fun. Maybe 1200 to replace my old foamie one Ralph? Otherwise I agree, the Learjet could be fun. Options, options.....!
-
Hi Fred,
I would be happy to build anything in the list but would really fancy a learjet about 1200mm wing span a P47 would also be nice. I was thinking of scaling up the free plan in RCM&E to 200% could you suggest an air-foil to use?

Thanks Fred. Great suggestions. The F86 is my favorite jet of all time, so it was a simple choice for me. Never have done a chrome finish so that would be fun. The plans in RCME this month are a bit small but could be scaled up? The hurricane is a good option as you say since the plans/ wood pack etc are readily available. A fouga magister would have been nice too, but I know you’ve already been there done that! Loved the silver swallows........
Looking forward to the poll results
Conor.

Welcome Conor. Good to see you here.
-
Of course I had to click on Meteor, just for you Fred >:D
But in reality a P47 or Learjet would be great!
-
There is always one! ::)
Soooo, looks like so far, only 10 votes, with one marginal winner... so far! :)
Looks like a good winter build :) talking about that, saw this earlier, made me giggle :)
-
A10 for me
-
A10 for me
Have you not got one part built? I'm sure I remember you showing me a wing and part built fuz.
-
Yea
Still have the wing and a bit of the fuselage
Not sure where the plan is :o
-
Think I have one if you need it
-
Alright so, looks like the people has spoken and have a winner. Tiny margin and unexpected one (for me anyway!)
Should I leave the poll run longer?
Some wants to change their mind?
-
Go Fred, I can change my mind, What do you want? A10 svp
-
I can change my mind too if you want...... maybe narrow the poll based on top 2 or 3?
-
Lear jets are all white, so maybe a bit boring unless one off. Need something where models look individual and have country, squadron markings.
Hawker Hunter, A10 or Vulcan would be my choice.
John.

is that so John!
-
A few more ideas :)
-
Dibs on the jap Maratime self defense scheme 8)
-
Ok, we are getting there :)
You can now change your vote if you wish! (Insert Brexit joke here :) )
-
Hmmm I stand corrected. The lear does look nice in some of those colours. Lear jet it is.
-
Did we make a decision on which we're going to try?
-
I'm liking the Lear Jet idea. Has it been chosen for the mass build?
If not, there is still time to join the PSSA 2020 mass build:

-
Well, mass build... If we get 2 done, that would be a massive achievement :)
I went back to it during the Christmas break. Wings are done, Fuselage is done. Working on the tail now, and trying to find an idea for the wing tanks :-\
-
Hi Fred,
can you send me a full sized drawing of the tank and I will come up with something. I will build one for sure.
Cheers
Ralph
