The Mystery Aircraft (PSS)
« on: March 24, 2006, 12:09:00 PM »
Hello there,

The 24th of April is the Annual Cork Glide-in. The only Glider event in Ireland (yet... that may change...  :rolleyes: )
So, I'll go to this event (like every year since I live in Ireland..) with my usual bunch of gliders, but this year, I've plan to build the biggest PSS in Ireland (as far as I know, that will be the biggest) in less than a month ! And a scale one please !

In Fact, this PSS will be a prototype for an electric or IC version, but the PSS will allow me to test the design with no cost. And if this model can fly as a PSS imagine with 2 brushless and lipos or 2 IC motors (for the dirty guys !  :D )

So now, it's your turn to play and found what is this PSS reproduce. There is a view for connoisseur who can find straight away the model.

The prize will be the printed plans of this model when finished for the first of you who find what it is.:)


For more photos of the building (but not too much... that will be too easy...:D  ) go to my website (http://gliderireland.modelisme.com)

Enjoy !

Damned !!   :P

I Knew that was too easy with this picture !!

So Alan, you are right, this is a B25 !
I'll post more info about the model later on.

And you won the set of printed plans as soon as they are ready (after the first flight to validate the plan).

Well done Alan !!   :D
