Who's building what - 2011

[Fred]

Alright, looks like lots of projects are coming to light!  

So, what are you planning to build / do for the next season ?

[Alan_Perse]

Well, as may of you know, I'm going to build a 1/5 scale Skylark 2. Here's a picture of another color scheme I might choose.

1/4 scale K13 from the cliff charlesworth plan

[Ron]

Ok, ok, ok...... Don't keep nagging. :lol:  :lol:
You're making me feel jealous/guilty/lazy/left-out/etc.etc. :shock:
And as I do quite like the Slingsby designs, my name is Skingley of which Slingsby is a historical variation, and.....
I've got Martin Simons' book "Slingsby Sailplanes" staring at me from the bookshelf.

There's no way I've got time to do my own plans from the book, so it will have to be plans from someone else.

Looks like I'm committing the fatal sin of starting a project  
Have to get rid of that pile of balsa and ply somehow...

Ron

[Fred]

Alright, on my side now :

1/4 scale ASH25 (6.25m WS) --> wings are being bagged  
1/4 scale Lunak--> in the workbench. Sb96 profiles
1/4 scale Pilatus B4 --> need to remove the fingers, and give the files to Joe for the wings !
Micro EPP Swift --> have to glue the servos!

That's for the fibre scale stuff... Well, what's on the workbenches anyway  :mrgreen:
I should put my hands on some nice fuselages next year  [-o<

Wood :
Kranich II and Blanik L13 for the winter, plan is to have at least the Kranich done for Retroplane!

i'm starting the crested wren and i've a sheibe sf 33 from cliff charlesworth plan under way. smallish model at 2.5m for el power. i've discovered that as i get older, my building speed is getting exponentially slower! before, i could turn out min 4 models a year. now, i'm lucky to finish 2. anyone else notice this?

[Alan_Perse]

Hey Gerry. Where did you get the plan of the SF33 from? I know its a Cliff Charlesworth plan, but the people who sell his plans, Model Activity Press, don't seam to have it.

PSS U2
IslandModels 1/4 scale KA3
Jart
2.5m full house slope model

[Ron]

Right then.
It was going to be a Kirby Kite at 1:4 scale. but thought I'd get myself back into building mode with something a bit less demanding.
So it's a T37 Skylark 1 at 1:5 scale - about 2.7m span.
Plans ordered...... :shock:

[Happy Days]

Er,……….I’d like to build a 4X Mini Toon

If I could get the parts :!: ……………..(Fred,….Joe…..any chance of me getting them during my life time? :?:  :lol: )

Keith

[Fred]

Hey Keith,

I think Joe is still on tour (Joe?) for the cutting...

Bill, your machine is finished?  :?:
I'm more and more tempted doing a mold for the fuselage...  :?:

[gerryb]

alan, i got them from cliff himself and a canopy a couple of years ago. you are welcome to borrow them as soon as i'm finished if you like. i could also pm his address to you.

[billscottni]

Getting there Fred,

Electronics working, hardware working now just need to integrate the two :?:

[JohnPearson]

Well my build list is as follows:

PSS : Martin baker B57d

PSS : Windrider Airbus 380

Jart sloper

and an Opel glider hopefully later in the year.

I still have a 1/3 scale Tigermoth to repair after a crash this year, and an elan jet to finish

[Alan_Perse]

Thanks for the offer Gerry. I might take you up on that some time in the future. No need to send me Cliffs address I know where I can get if I need it, thanks anyway.
