Moving!

Plane has been branded

and cowl is now cut. Engine almost done and ailerons are moving!
Hopefully ready for this weekend so I can do the engine break in, but we’ll see.

I like this plane I have to say, good old vintage look

I’m not that old!!

Starting to get ready to cut the cowl now. Old paper template trick.

Sports / Kwik Fly MkIII

« on: October 28, 2026, 22:50:07 PM »

Well, something else for a change.
Something that moved up in the pile of stuff to do, and a combination of (bought new) things I haven’t bought together in a good 30 years!

Seagull Model had the great idea to produce back some old classics, starting with the Kwik Fly mkIII, originally designed by Phil Kraft and won the 1967 F3A WC with it.

Anyway, it was nice for a change to assemble something without using too much of your brain, but the quality is definitely there on the build and covering with pretty much nothing to change there.

So, just few photos, there is not much to it really.

Will be powered by an OS 55, because the plane history needs some respect! And I need a break from the electric stuff!

For Sale / Gliders for sale

« on: September 06, 2026, 14:38:31 PM »

I need space

For sale:

Reichard Lunak. WS: 4m. 1 spare wing (left if I recall) and spare Canopy. Only work to be done is fix one of the elevator linkage... I wanted to change it, but it is sitting in my bench for 2 years at this stage, so for someone else to replace it. 400€

ISM 1/3 scale Ka8b. ws: 5m. That is my Ka8b! Very light (7.5kgs if I remember). This glider is on racks for a good 4 or 5 years now! New canopy was fitted. I think one of the wing tip yellow faded (was near a window). Come fully equipped, add receiver, and possibly, check those batteries! Haven't touched it in all these years so I might be missing something, but last flights were in tows in Falaise, and no issues. Hangared since, but that is a fab flyer I have to say. 200€

1/4? scale Schweizer 1-26 - I think it's 4 meters, need to check!. Made in Britany. Have it for years! Never flown it. Just gathering dust at this stage. Just add receiver. Come with a normal wing joiner, and a ballasted one for those funny days

400€

Certainly more to come unfortunately!

Wanted / Old F3A

« on: July 18, 2026, 21:21:14 PM »

Alrighty so, just in case!

Looking for some old F3A. Ideally, Joker, Rubin, Saphir.

I think they are great for club flying. Old, but still fantastic!

I bought a Kwik Fly mkIII reboot from Seagull for old time sake, and really looking forward to fly it.

Anything you have, let me know
