Was its maiden flights, but did look very good in the air!

For Sale / Flying wing
« on: January 17, 2026, 16:53:26 PM »
Flying wing thing 
2 channels with elevator/rudder.
An interesting shape!
Foam wings with 2k paint… wood fuselage also painted and some dragons stickers
I never flew it as each time I brought it at the slope, no wind!
Taking valuable room now so have to go.
Not much to say and can’t comment on the flying. Might need a good breeze?
Anyway, come with 2 servos, add battery and receiver.
40€

For Sale / E-Flite SuperCub 25e
« on: January 17, 2026, 16:47:32 PM »
For sale is a supercub 25e from E-Flite.
Come with all the servis etc, add your receiver and battery. 4S I believe.
I never flew it, as usual, bought it on a Saturday night
. The rudder got a slight damage in transport. Anyway, see photos.
Looks really good and with some good scale details like the ailerons and flaps. And why i bought it!
Landing gear is almost a work of heart.
Anyway, all wood etc, not a foamie.
120€ ono
Can bring it to the field for inspection.

Hey Richard
That Vulcan would be a very beautiful sight over there alright!
I had a quick look at the ferries actually, that is not cheap for a short crossing, but looks like there is a discount for short stay (as of, weekend)... Anyway, we have a bit of time to plan

Scale / Re: Me163… with a rocket!

For the clout scheme, well, that where you will spend time and so as the painting!
I went with the English captured one. You also have a French and Russian but that was nice for a change and hoping the yellow would help in the sky as this is not a big model!
Anyway, all painted in acrylics, home made decals and printed small pilot head. Not to scale but got a tad lazy there!!
All ready to fly, now waiting for the rockets which should be coming with the French contingent and the other Me163 in April for a bit of fun

Scale / Me163… with a rocket!
« on: January 12, 2026, 21:30:02 PM »
Well, for something different!
We decided a little while back to build a few me 163 rocket powered foamies glider/plane/jet.
First to finish mine
I won’t go into too much details, you have a full page about it on the Jivaros website but it is a nice little kit of about 70cm we for 2 servos and powered by a D rocket.
Should be interesting! I think it could also be a nice pss for those crazy days, but we’ll check that out if that survive the first boom
For the one interested, it can also be built with electric power. Anyway, here are a few photos of the “build”.
Mine is glued with epoxy everywhere, and it will take you roughly 30 minutes to assemble. Add 2 small servis to that and in less than an hour with a coffee break, you are ready for painting. And double or triple the build time!
Kit has some nice scale details, some plastic bits to protect the fuselage during landings and an aluminum tube to glue at the back for the motor.
