Scale / scheibe sf 33 motorglider
« on: July 25, 2012, 17:32:01 PM »
adding my tuppence worth....scheibe sf 33 motorglider to 1/6 sc from cliff charlesworth plans.  2.5m span, weighs about 2k rtf.  1only ever built and colour scheme pretty plain so i'm doing my own. power is by turnigy outrunner, folding prop and 2400 3s lipo. 5 functions using 7 servos

some photos.....  all the bits.....
 assembled......
  note the forward sweep....
model is covered and rtf, but i'm very superstitious about taking photos of unflown models, especially my own. silly, i know but so is walking under ladders!  i'll post them after test flight.

Scale / ka-3
« on: November 02, 2011, 00:01:38 AM »
a few photos of the ka-3 i'm building from one of fred's 1/4 scale short kits. i've taken the fuse frame off it since i took the photos and it's nearly ready for covering. a very nice build, relatively easy for someone thinking of building a vintage model for the first time and it won't break the bank! nice one fred. :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

« on: May 27, 2011, 21:47:24 PM »
i'm interested in building a 1/4 scale rhonsperber during next winter, (early i know but never too early to plan). there was a plan by glynn fontaneau years ago but it appears it's now out of print.
can anyone help or even point me in the right direction?
