PFM / Pat French Models
jeff2wings replied to Michael West 2's topic in R/C Retailers / Distributors / Manufacturers
Just how bad is bad exactly? A picture would help as you may be surprised how you can repair something like this. From this too this -

It's a splatfire and was a kit also a mustprang can't remember the manufacturer though -
As I answered earlier in this thread ,maybe it would be nice if the op was to chip in at some pointπ

Two servo or Y lead for your ailerons ?
jeff2wings replied to Rocker's topic in All Things Model Flying
Exactly, so the 'safer with separate channels 'is nonsense ,most models using duel servos ( something first done in the 60's) can get by with a Y lead unless you have a need for differential/flap mix -

So all those people using S.Bus...?........... -

jeff2wings replied to Rocker's topic in All Things Model Flying
Never quite understand this statement, if one servo on a Y lead fails the other one will continue working -
You do know there are multiple build threads for barnstormers in the 2014 mass build ? Might possibly be useful?

SC Engines are back! .15 AP Hornet to 64cc 5 Cyl Radial.
jeff2wings replied to Paul Marsh's topic in IC Engines
I'm looking to scale back my engine collection and have a number of engines that would suit your project I.e. AM 25 pm me if interested -
Deja' vu or something like that π I was intending to drop a comment in the current thread then I remembered this previous one, from ten years ago π― seriously a decade ago !!! And the answer as to what is my favourite? Yes.All of them,the good the bad and the awful, I've always been fascinated by miniature internal combustion engines and the incredible variety of designs for powering models on land ,water and air no wonder my shelves are groaning from the weight of more engines than I will ever have models too put them in π! But the engines I have designed and made myself or from casting kits and it has most definitely made me appreciate the considerable effort that manufacturers go to just getting one engine on market, never mind a hole range . 10cc o/d Micron 5cc crankcase machined from solid diesel conversion Magnum 25

Thanks, I will probably let it mature for a month or two while I decide on the finishing details, until then I have these two onthe bench 9 -

jeff2wings replied to jeff2wings's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
I did follow your thread at the time,for anyone interested MR has a 75 kit in stock from a recent run of kits and still makes short runs of the classic range,I'm waiting for a 52 kit. Fuselage now sanded and final cowling blocks added only things left is replacement of one of the ailerons as the wood is far to soft and making a decision on the kind of finish and the dreaded colour scheme π¬ ! -
This winter's build,Gangster 63
jeff2wings replied to jeff2wings's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Well it does quite literally say it's a kwikbult kit! This was the industry standard in the late 60's & 70's, Chris Foss is still selling his Wot series models using the same formula, a pair of quality foam wings, precut parts and an instruction book! And models back then needed to be able to hand less than ideal conditions. Hopefully I've done this right! https://youtu.be/BNSFX9RP5_g?si=vEUkETHGZKbZ6zcV Last bit glued on Cowl and forward part of fuselage carved and sanded to shape, just need to decide on which HP 61 I will use? -

With the wing bolted on it's time to check the incidence before mounting the tailplane with the tailplane checked for square it's out with the glue and clamps Once the fin is glued in place the rear decking is added final bit today building up the cowling so I can look forward to some therapeutic carving and sanding π
