  1. From Beth Thank you for your kind comments Riverlandgirl, David sayes hi and hopes you're having success with your 'mad' inventions. Davids brother flew his glider this morning. It flies extremely well and climbs very quickly. It seemed to take ages to to come back down with the power off and was flown several times over David so he could hear it. He is very pleased, especially when his brother told him he thought it would fly just as well with half the power available. David has asked that we set up a video so that we can share this with you all. Thank you all Beth

  3. From Beth, (Davids wife) Hello all, as I'm sure you are aware David(Radge) has lost his sight and it was behoven to both his brother and myself to finish his electric glider. In the end we used the last of the iron on covering he had left. To be honest I rather enjoyed doing it, (being a dab hand with an iron anyway) Lining up and securing the tail down was not easy, mainly because David was continually shouting at us about incedence, control throw measurement's and things! But it's all done and tested and now ready for it's first flight. For that event, David's brother and the rest of the family are coming tomorrow and we're going to have a bit of a launch barbeque party as the weather is set to be perfect. I'll let you know how it goes. Beth Edited By Radge on 19/04/2013 15:56:46

  6. Posted by GrahamC on 02/01/2013 13:09:52: Job 1... Finish Electric Puppeteer Job 2 Finish Royal/Marutaka Zero.... [A nice breezy spring day will be needed to finish the carving!] Just noticed this Graham, I also need a breezy day for carving, I do it on the lawn then mower it up
  7. Well let me see now, to finish: Own design electric glider.(quite excited about this one, not far to go now with the original design and looking forward to playing around with different wings on it also. Own design low wing racer,(not happy with this one, fuselage didn't end up as straight as it could have done, will persevere) HK J3 Cub(last years birthday present still in box) To start: Either a scale Bird Dog or a parasol racer(these 1920's/30's jobbers are crackin' , just have to see how things go there as I change my mind more often than my socks. All the best everybody! Hope all your builds during 2013 go well.
  8. Power pylon completed with video cam mounted.(Christmas present) Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year to all.

  10. Posted by Steve Holland on 24/12/2012 02:12:10: There were lots of late nights on this one, I had to build a couple of the trial models to test the auto pilot and changes to the wing. Andy Johnson took over from me when I had to fly away to work again, he did quite a bit of rebuilding and testing ready for Jame's Mays own self constructed glider to do the record flight. I have a few bits left over from the builds and one day will build my own replica to add to the collection of odd toys I've played with over the years. Cheers Steve Insider gen Steve? Great stuff! Any photo's please? Would love to see some background development.
  11. Was that not just the business! They could have built an all bells and whistles design with a 50:1 glide ratio but they went with a vintage. Superb! Just the kick up the jacksey I needed to crack on with my builds.(Any one got a spare chopper?)
  12. Great stuff Simon! This true to scale modelling presents it's own problems indeed. What are your plans for the ailerons?
  13. Just an update on the power pod. Fairing under construction. Just about done, mounting plate curve should suit most wing uppers.
