Redshift 61 has been sold.

Just to make people aware, I will be taking some items for sale, retro aerobatic orientated, due to a change in circumstances. I would rather these be used than just hanging around in the workshop. Redshift 61 New bearings fitted, excellent compression. OS 61 RF Everything is as per Hanno Special apart from the piston and liner that is RF. The piston and liner are virtually brand new, having only been run 5 times in my Supra Fly 60. OS 61 RF Good bearings and great compression. Webra Speed 40 ABC Excellent engine, complete with muffler and manifold. Super Tigre 40 Brand new, no box. Includes standard silencer and a Macs Muffler (new) Veco 19 Excellent engine, great for Flea Fli etc. Brand new GRP Bullet fuselage and canopy, will save all that carving. Same as Minty uses on his electric version Hope nobody objects to me putting these on here but if I didn't, the answer on the day would be, 'I wish I had known, I would have brought some money!!!

Bit more progress today. Both tailplane and one wing panel had LE and TE sanded down. Wing panel and T/P halve had tips added. Work on fuselage has begun, re the positioning of firewall. Made it 120mm from front ring. Ample room for tubing coming from behind engine. Profile taken with a profile gauge, transferred onto hard balsa to enable final positioning to take place before putting on to ply. Must remember to make a copy for the rest of the fuselages!

Hi Rich2 No plans, just working from photos that I've seen, general model size of that time and utilising the wing and tail sections on the fuselage. That was fun!!!! Transfered them to onto a cad program and then onto my cnc wing cutter. Took a few practice cuts on scrap foam but got there eventually. Probably draw up a plan for a wooden fus later. AWflyer, are you going to build it?

Those that were around model flying in the 1970's will recognise the name of Terry Cooper. Terry was at the top of his game in the early 70's and the Bulldog was the design he used in the 1971 World Champs. A couple of years ago, Paul Bardoe was fortunate enough to come across seven GRP fuselages from that period and passed them on to me. Circumstances being what they were, I have only just got round to put one together. One fuselage is orange, the rest being clear and it is one of these that I have selected for my model. The first problem was sorting the wing and tail sections out. This successfully done, wing and tail cores have been cut and were sheeted today, using 1/16th balsa. Wing panels came out at 7 oz each and tail halves, 2 oz each. Engine will be a BNIB OS 61SF, with pipe. Terry was at the forefront of tuned pipe use in F3A aerobatics. I'll keep you updated. Steve

Retford Model Flying Club
Steve Dunning replied to C Anderson's topic in Shows, Club Events and Competitions
I have a table booked to sell items following the passing of two Retford club members. A range of items will be on offer. Looking forward to meeting buyers on Sunday. Steve -
I have decided to close kit production due to health problems. Just concentrating on my own models and clearing back orders at the moment. Steve
