  1. I have not had much time on this build but this is where I am with it. I have put a snake in for the rudder and the servo near the battery hatch. I didn't like the idea for fixing it to the tail as appears on the plan.
  2. Decals. Anybody any thoughts on making or someone who may supply them?
  3. Sorry Martin for the delay but here is a photo of the other side of the leg.
  4. Hi Tim The North Lakes Soaring Club is active at Bewaldeth and I am a member. Not sure I can put the Secretary's details on here but if you PM me I will put you in touch.
  5. First wing glued up. Photo showing the Wing Jig Tabs a very clever idea by TN. It makes it so easy to get the correct wing shape. These are later cut off.
  6. Chris The fans are the ones recommended by TN and are from Banggood after discount.
  7. Update. I have decided to go ahead with the Concorde build, however at a reduced cost. My initial idea was to buy the plan and Vac set only. I would then buy a laser cutter from the savings made which would also be used for future projects. However given I have no experience with with these and the time it would take me to get up to speed I decided to go for the cnc as well at £124. On arrival the Vac set had been crushed but Slec are sending me a replacement. The wood pack from TN was £55 but I do have a good stock of Balsa etc and thought I may have enough, unfortunately not but the cost of what I need to buy is £27. I seem to have all the other parts I need servos and wiring. I have the four FMS fans at £18 each and have bought 4 x 40amp ESC at £13 each. I have 2 suitable batteries. That only leaves the retracts which I couldn't justify at £198. I have several sets of retracts which are from planes which have gone to the plastic bag. I have converted a set for the Concorde at no cost. See Picture. My total spend should be less than £300. Now for the build.
