Funny how things seem to happen all at once I had a built and covered Sonata E . hanging up in the shed ,this was finished to ARTF. It must have been more than 15 years ago . I recently glued it all together and it looks great,Now then what to replace that speed 600 eith i,m sure the nce point will be interesting as the lipo can go right behind yhe motor, will keep you posted

well over 30 my jr tranny memory is full i also use a dx7

County Music in my saul-----eeeee/haaaaa

Yes it is a bit slow abiut 20 seconds to load in.

Lets see,i must say i havent noticed ,this is a test post

2 TO 4 WEEKS IS NORMAL. I FIND THAT YOUR ORDER CAN BE STOPPED BY CUSTOMS IF YOU PAY FOR A QUICK DELIVERY. THIS USUALLY ADDS £20 TO YOUR COST.

not only is the price high but the latest fuel turning up at our site stinks as if it was recycled chipshop oil well burnt at that, it gets the back of my thrat every time i go flying.

P.S. I am also contemplating building the MINI SUPER and will follow Tim,s advice Trevor youshould do the same. i hope it turns out great for you .Regards Bernard.

My super sixteee has been completed for some time now ,and has been flown many times It created a lot of interest. at the Chester clubs fly -in. This model has turned out to be a real gem,it will fly in all weather conditions,handles very well on rudder elevator and throttle only .It is built exactly to Ben Buckle,s plan.The only changes made was to the front formers in order to bring the prop to the same potition as it would be with an IC engine.the front decking before the windscreen is a removable hatch. The power train is a Turigy 36-42 motor 60 amp controller ads a 4000 3s lipo-lightmax on a 12x6 APC prop.Colour is see thru gold and matt blue solarfilm yes matt, what a performer and a fly anywhere model,im fact it flew at the Rhyl fun fly on Sunday. BRILLIANT.

one entry please.  

Ihave made quite a few of these and if you look on the FORUM TOPIC      WOT 4 WEIGHT yopu will find all the info to build one.

YES. You can buy one from D.B.Models.Its not cheap though as they have to access their archives. I got mine about 10 years ago and it cost me £10. Abargain as i have made about a `100 lost count a long time ago . A great flying model.  Allthe latest versions are Electric powered .

     the super sixty is progressing very well. I now have a basic airframe on the bench just needs finishing off ,bits and pieces such as skid and a planked hatch for the nose end.I also need to make a wire u/cart, then the good bits covering and finishing.    .The power train is as follows.   Motor is Hi Model 2814-8,1000KV from BRC, £27.  Hi Model 40amp controller BRC, again £ 25.  The draw is estimated at about 30amps  35 tops on a 12 x 6 prop.So any battery pack 3s of 2000 upwardsshoud be ok. This is yet to be tried on a wattmeter but i dont see any problems. J.R. radio on 2.4 using 2 std servos.   A photo or 2 may come later,but my P.C. skills are not that great. My Son says it should be no more difficult than my computer radio and i have no problems with that. THIS ONE IS 3 CHANNEL AS PER THE ORIGIONAL.. More to come as i progress.

     O.K Steve.   1/4 sq spars and t/edge . 1/8 false lead/edge with1/16 sheeting. 1 inch t/edge 1/16 thick over t/edge spar and 1/4 inch by 1/16 balsa capstrips. 1/4 inch leading edge .Ribs 1/8 balsa 3 inch spacing i like to put 6 ribs in the centre 1 inch apart for strength and use no brace.1.1/4 inch by 3/8t/edge stock for ailerons and center section 3/16 for the wingtips, use your assumptions for d/box etc, i have built quite a few wings using this method with no failures to date . the wing can be built in one piece as it is only 48 inch span with 2 inch tips making 52 inch.

I am just starting this . Wings are on the board , it will be as per plan,with engine bay moded to take brushless motor. will update as progress is made. 

Foam wings aint wot they used  to   be. apparently the vaneer is impossible to get in the quality needed for good wing covering . the stuff they get now has a wide deep grain and shows through solarfilm. filler is not much use either. the best bet is the glass cloth and paint finish or make your own builtup version.

am just starting a buckle version and it is a 2 wheeler

that push moth from D.B.looks like a great electric conversion ,Is the plan still available,does anyone know ?. good 667788
