Well done Richard, have been flying my La7 for two weeks now with total success. Took it down to my club, put it on the grass and got a chorus of "don't like those pointy wings, bet it tipstalls like mad,etc etc"., so being a coward I let our Chairman do the test flight, as he is by way of being our best flyer and does most test flights. After a very extended first flight I managed to get it off him with the comment "I would never have expected that from such a powerful looking warbird, it flies just like a low wing sports plane". Pass the message around and see if we can generate enough interest to get Richard to do a batch of the larger version.

spoke to Richard a few weeks ago, he said that ten kits is a good number, if we can persuade him to run another batch, I will happily put down a deposit before he starts. ps if you contact him again ask about a yak 9 kit

Lavochkin La7 - Warbird Replicas Kit
peter harvey 1 replied to Pete H's topic in Build Blogs and Kit Reviews
Would be great if we could persuade Richard to do another batch of the larger La7 's or Yak 9s but unless there are enough like minded people out there , it seems that there is not a lot of luck with this. -

Thanks Peter, will try reducing lead first, then maybe try playing with tail and wing incidences, unless someone else has a brainwave. love your designs, my Harlequin flew brilliantly until recently I thought I could fly in the gap between the top of the trees bordering our club and the low winter sun, big mistake, I have just started on the Big Ship, and hope this flys as well. Many thanks for much fun

Have just flown my Sandow fro the first time, take off was novel, all over the place, so hand launched. It flew well but seemed to adopt a nose up attitude, as though tail heavey, which it wasn,t, also rudder was fairly insensitive (possibly blanked by fus. One of our older members who has flown ff for years reckoned it was nose heavey, which seemed strange as I would have thought the opposite, it dossent balloon when the throttle was opened fully. Has anyone got any ideas?????? puzzled of Stockport

New Miles Sparrowhawk from Seagull
peter harvey 1 replied to Tim Mackey's topic in Scale and Semi-Scale kits
Lovely planes all, but back to Sparrowhawk, I,ve seen several threads on different forums concerning C of G, has anybody had any experience of this before I fly mine for the first time. GC as shown by Seagull seems a bit rearwards as I would havw expected 30-35% chord. Cheers
