PSS / Re: PSSA 40th Anniversary Mass Build
« Last post by RichardB on Today at 11:20:24 »I will probably go over for this event ..and take the Vulcan ( if its still in one piece by then :-) ...and the AR1 sloper I am just building.
Presumably I will be ok just to turn up and fly ?
I now have worldwide DMO insurance so will be covered insurance wise.
I travel over to the UK by car every couple of months to visit my old mum so it will be very handy to tie this in with a visit.

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!
« Last post by Fred 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.

I am happy to build and fly in Sept at Mount L, If there was 2 car loads traveling from the ISR I would have been more keen
