  1. Thanks tim,  i will take your advice &  start a thread on rcgroups, i have been browsing that forum but because it is an american  board i didnt sign up , so what i will do i'll crack on i'll just keep this thread updated on my progress . Edited By Vasili Flame on 28/02/2010 21:37:22
  2. Tim, Thanks for the infomation on that profili downloaded the demo and it's really mindblowing who would think a wing would be so complex, but it's all a learning process, it's really highlight things i just never would have figured out by myself, i think i have managed to get right dimensions. Sage Type 2 Fighter 1/7 conversion Wing Span-----96.71412857142857  Inches Length--------36.276714285714284 Inches Height--------16.254142857142856 Inches i dont know were to round it off lol  Also i have found  this below thats got the the type2 spec's as in incidence, dihedral,wing gaps & wing chord, do you think i can use thease mesurements to build into the plane ?
  3. Thank's tim a lot of infomation there i will use 90% of it no doubt , How would i calculate the 12% Clarke y wing is there an aplication for suck a thing so i can get cross section profile??  Andy i was just getting down the shape but i didnt notice that to be honest so i went to fix it just now  and i didnt save it only that picture so would have to redo it anyways lol :P i'll remember that former then :P   
  4. Not a problem mate you was just expressing your opinion :D stick around u never know it may fly lol 
  5. Havent done any 3d work for a while so i thought id have a go at a depron plan as a practice, This is  a Sage Type 3 Trainer plane only spent 30 mins on it Work in progress. Edited By Vasili Flame on 26/02/2010 00:14:44
  6. i just went by the instruction Martyn :D plus it was in the box free i didnt even pay for the dope my mate bought some his hurricane so just borrowed some all i bought was supa glue 2 tubes was a pound had the paint from a air fix diorama build i still havent finished 1/72 scale so annoying to paint lol . so all in all £9 :D &  few hours of my time that was the result it was also my first camo i ever painted , Barry is like 10  mins away buddy i actually done the trip in 4 minutes flat out @  5 o'clock in morning trying to get home ready for work lol   Yeah it is a rubber free flight Erfolg had to keep looking at your name to type that :P The one i built has only got a 17 1/2 inch wing span it's the 900 series and quite small interior i suppose you could mod some sort of Parkzone Vapour bits to get it to fly.  i Have seen the chipmunk fly of the same 900 series 17 1/2inch  I may be wrong but i can only find the P-47 thunderbolt in the 1000 series if that is the model you have thease two people have built a flying model  Kit No - 1001 Republic P-47 Thunderbolt milesperpound http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=775322 St.Martin http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=895877 I havent Actually built a r/c flying model  myself but thats why iu am here . hope there is something in there you can use 
  7. I Will do mate id rather build from scratch than a kit as you have full control of everything, this will be my first scratch build so it will go quite slow, should have enough funds by next week for materials then i will get started. Thanks 
  8. You know what andy you are probably right i have done a bit of covering but no to much, i could always make two props one for flight one for the ground display structure wise i have no problems there as thy old profession was working with structual steel. some bugger probably build it before me in mean time lol    You gotta admit its definatley a diffrent breed of Bi-plane :D
  9. Thanks andy for the encouragement  and contact's of right peopel to chat too, i was just going to build a free flight (rubber powered) then scale up my plan's for R/c  Only info i got is this, Should be enough as there i a picture of  the plane in construction in 1916.  Wish i had the free flight plan as it make it 1,000 times easier but as far as i know A R/c Version has never been done and only that one free flight.  Specification  WEIGHTS     Take-off weight701 kg1545 lb     Empty weight404 kg891 lb  DIMENSIONS     Wingspan6.77 m22 ft 3 in     Length6.45 m21 ft 2 in     Height2.89 m10 ft 6 in     Wing area15.61 m2168.02 sq ft  PERFORMANCE     Max. speed180 km/h112 mph Edited By Vasili Flame on 24/02/2010 19:30:01
  10. With all due respect Myron i didnt actually say i was going to fly it. My experiance of building things are quite good as i was a steel glazer & cladder used to working on tiny tolarance of  2mm and less & also a fully qualified motor mechanic. thats the great thing i am of the nintendo geraration using computers & design software is 2nd nature, i may have not build a rc plane before but i have completed more complicated structures that that Eg: The Millenium stadium all the cladding on that was done buy myself and four other people you should have seen them technical drawings not trying to be rude just expressing my view.   Mr Matthew It's Called a Sage type 2 fighter  i been trawling the net for a few week's before i started posting here and only found This  http://www.aviastar.org/air/england/sage-2.php I did find a free flight model build but with no info accept a picture and plane name    Edited By Vasili Flame on 24/02/2010 15:44:46
  11. Well Well Well how can Wales' capital city  -Cardiff - not have a Rc supplier???? It's the Capital. Just could you imagine London not having one??? This just tell me there is a gap in the market I know antics does a limited range but the staff are not very knowledgeable TBH - however there is one gentleman that's working there that is really helpful - he did stop me buying a EDF few years ago.

  12. Going design a Scratch built plane , it was first proto type flown on aug 16th 1916 crashed 20th sept 1916, Due to gun synchronization being invented it was never rebuilt. I have only two small old pictures to go by & a 3d plan so i got a quite good idea how to build it. Problem is i want to build it to scale but the prop looks wrong 2 be honest i think this is why full size plane crashed but what do i know hope some one could just take a peek  & give me your views First off i will be making this in a 3D program then exporting to Cad program wish me luck   
  13. Thanks all i was quite happy how it turned out few details on that picture's you can not see like around the rear of the canopy i had painted a skull with angel wings just for fun lol  Biggles yes i have flown it but it crashed into a bush thorn's ripped throgh covering on the wing and the rudder snapped and front part of the fusalge broke too i'll post a picture soon.  Martyn it's covered with dope and paper that came with the kit  the paper wasnt that good to be honest my buddy bought another guillows a few days later of a hurricane and the paper was much better in that. gave it two coats of dope then just painted it with matt enamel paint, used a sharpie green on the camo parts for panel lines & rivits as it dried with a nice colour match, then a black sharpie for underside detailing on sky blue bottom.  Humbrol Brown (188)Humbrol Green (150)Humbrol Cream (148) Humbrol Orange (82)Humbrol Marine Blue (157) mixed 1 part to  4 parts Humbrol White (34)  Well thats not far from my location i am in ely myself so not far away from Raf St Athan's
