Hi Guy's, So I'm thinking of either sanding off or using some sort of spirit(somehow?)to get rid of blue to take back to white on this Correx as will give a better base for painting or filming. I have used Correx before to build some tiny F22 Raptors for mates,but still have MUCH to learn about this material and ideal ways to deal with it in all situations. 🤪😂🤣 VID-20230823-WA0000(3).mp4

Hi Leccyflyer, I'm going to fully sheet the wing with thin Correx I have,as open structure covering it would be a pain and although full sheeting adds more weight as long as Fundroid is within a few ounces of Mike's prototype I should(hopefully)be fine🤞🤞

So no more going to be done until at least this Sunday as I'm working straight through till then(I'm a bus driver) so long arduous shifts as per normal! I'm lacking inspiration as to a potential colour scheme for Fundroid atm and wondering if you guys could help(ideally different) top and bottom to aid orientation please. Also cover in sticky film or paint? Many Thanks In Advance Steve😎👌👍

Hi All, I thought I'd kick start this thread by showing a few pics if my progress on kitting the above design. The prototype is predominantly made from foam board(hardly surprising) as balsa is so expensive these days! Mine is going to be made predominantly from Correx and plane chose itself based on lack of looks to inspire my flying confidence also,here's my progress so far. Enjoy Cheers Steve😉😎👌👍

Do you have plans available for any of your aircraft including these Timo?

Looks fantastic Cymaz! I wish RCM&E would re print the TN 72inch Lancaster Bomber again,but as a free plan this time,assuming Mr fantastic himself could be persuaded of course? 🤔🤞😎👌👍

Hi Richard, When will plans be available for Gyroo 2? Kind Regards Steve 😎 👌 👍

Thanks, It's actually a very semi scale F22 Raptor,I will definitely look at your articles. I've yet to find other great alternatives to glue Correx together other than epoxy resin(Poundland stuff)coupled with clear grab adhesive.

Your Impala is simply stunning Sir! Please can I lean on your experience ie do's and don'ts in all area's to produce the best models? Many Thanks And Kind Regards Steve 😎👌👍

My feeble attempt at building with Correx,I have much to learn still! VID-20230823-WA0000(3).mp4

Sorry for that,didn't mean to cause confusion and upset as result 👍

Thankyou so much,I used to fly ic in the 90s and only been back in the hobby a year or so,wow so much has changed,but I don't know much about electric set ups and I'm keen to preserve this airframe as sentimental to me but I want it flying again also.

Hi Everyone, I have an old ic balsa and ply model aircraft that my mate(who is no longer with us) built me and was his own design and was powered well with an Enya 40 two stroke. My question is this plane is 2.5 kg dry 58 inch wingspan mid wing sport trainer,what would be ideal set up on electric ie motor,esc and battery please? Cheers Steve😎👍

Hi Guy's, Sorry to be a pain again would any of you possibly have Zulu E and Zulu ET by Lindsay Todd that you could scan a pdf of the articles and plans please? Many Thanks In Advance Steve😎👌👍

All items are now gone but can't remove advert. I have an Acro Wot ic Super Tiger 52 2 stroke(I think,but has good compression)and servos needs recovering and a bit tatty with minor imperfections and dinks £70 ono buyer collects from Woking,Surrey
