    Hi Beth - just to say thank you for my Fly Catcher laser parts and woods pack. I genuinely couldn't remember what was on offer the day I entered so it was a great surprise. Best regards Terry Walters

    Hi Colin - still here lurking and carrying out extensive searches for my building mojo! Keep on in there - that'll make me sufficiently guilty to get cracking again. Hope you had a good Xmas and best wishes for the New Year. Terry

That"s a great help for me.I have build a lot of planes, but this is the most difficult one.I will send you some pictures from my planes after christmas.I have build them only by plan, no kit..It will take a long time, to finish the turbolent, but in my head is a already the next project. its a zlin 225. Merry christmas and a happy new Year Bernhard Lewerenz Hi Bernhard - my pleasure to have been able to help you. Thank you for confirming how difficult the build is.to do. There have been times when I have thought that it was my building that was causing the difficulties! Look forward to seeing your aeroplanes. Have a look at my albums of photos. Best wishes for Xmas and the New Year and good luck with the Zlin. Terry

    Posted by Percy Verance on 23/12/2015 19:20:52: A question Terry. A club colleague actually has the lazer cut parts set for the Bryant Turby, and he says the box seems rather heavy. How's the weight with yours? From memory, I think my mate said there was a reference on the plan to the weight being about 7 pounds? Seems a lot for a relatively small model? I think the Peter Miller one turned out at about 5 pounds. Percy - Haven't weighed it so far but I can say that that it is 'robust'. After Xmas I'll weigh it properly and let you know. This vid on Youtube shows one flying and to me it seems to have a need to fly faster than I would like and I guess that's the effect of the weight. Cheers Terry

    Hi Percy, Thanks for the pics - very nice and a bit of a jolt to get going again. I think it should fly quite - to be in the air (at least once LOL!). As I said earlier in the thread, some of the errors are down to Mr Bryant and others were with the laser cutting. If you have followed the mass Bryant chippie builds you will know that errors are also apparent on that plan tool. I 'parked' this Turby build to start the Chippie and now the latter build is also stalled for the moment. What am I like?? Onwards and upwards......... Terry

    HI Bernhard, I live in SW France near to Cahors so a long way from you. I have friends in Lahnstein near Koblenz and Rehau in Oberfranken. I did consider electric power at one stage and did some work to make that possible but changed my mind and went back to IC engine power. What I did was use the fuel tank space and extended it forward through the fire wall to make battery tray that went under the electric motor mount inside the cowl. The battery could be inserted through the cockpit and pushed forward. I did take some photos of that but cannot find them at the moment. Here are some photos I took today of the fixing of the ailerons to the main wing. I tried to make the supporting brackets from brass sheet but found that too difficult to get an accurate representation. I then cut and shaped them from ply sheet (you could try epoxy sheet?). However, on advice from another modeller,I cut a brass bearing to fit into the connecting hole to improve strength and wear resistance. These were cut from brass tube using a very sharp knife by a rolling action and ground to fit flush. The important thing is to use small clamps to set up the ailerons to the brackets and ensure that the pivot points are in the right place. I drilled two or three holes before I could be sure that the ailerons moved correctly. I used piano wire through both pivot holes and moved the pieces around until I was happy. The finished hinges/pivot points make the movement of the ailerons very light indeed and they move very freely. Patience and perseverance is needed! There is also a photo of the way I've mounted the servos to align better. If you have any more questions please ask.

    Hi Berhard - greetings from France. I am English but live in France. Thank you for your kind comments. Your english is understandable. Frohe Weihnachten/Happy Christmas to you too. The build has been stalled for a while but I hope to get it finished this Winter! I think you mean how did I mount the ailerons to the mainplane/wing? It was very like the plan shows. I have found them to be very well balanced. I will take some more photos and send them to you in the next few days. I found the build difficult because the plan is not 100% correct and also the parts I had were not always the right size!! Are you using a IC engine or electric? Where do you live in Germany? Hi Manish too! Tchuss Terry

    PM for me too so I can have a positive reason for finishing my 70% built Oodallaly! LOL!

    Wow - that's a big 'un! That is going to look fab Scott! Terry

    Here it is - the wood is a bit 'odd' but it is quite strong - pilot is a bit tiny and Korean looking. He's been moved back a bit in the last repair to a more realistic position. Great model for practicing tip stalling!!

    Posted by Percy Verance on 23/10/2015 12:37:36: I think VMAR did a Fournier that size many moons ago Steve, but the problem was exactly that, it was produced by VMAR. As many know, the quality of early VMAR stuff was comparable to something knocked up in the Early Learning Centre. I've still got one Percy! I replaced the front end again a few months ago and need to re-maiden it! LOL! Terry

    You may not be dizzy Danny but I am! Great to watch you having a go after that very long gap! Well done and looking forward to the 'Chippie' on a rope too.
  25. Terry Walters
    Well that is very very nice Danny - you are an exceptional scale modeller. Terry
