    I like the stakes on the fuselage I might rob that idea Dave

    A couple of chaps at my club have built these as a bit of fun and use Cox engines, I have decided to join in but go electric I have the wood needed and most of the electronics all I needed was the plan which I found on ebay amongst others in RCM&E back issues. So Tally Ho! I'm in first job was to transfer the fuselage sides to grease proof paper and use a pin to transfer those lines to the balsa. I have also cut the formers ready for glueing up with the sides in the morning, two of the formers are laminated so I'm waiting for them to dry. Dave

    I have just done a dummy order for the remainder of the timber at balsa cabin it comes to just over £70 does that sound about right? Dave

    Posted by Steve Houghton on 12/11/2019 13:29:14: Hi David, I've chosen the Spirit 78 scheme, but please feel welcome to join me with another one so that we can make a team. It's only a colour scheme - no one has ownership of any one in particular, and as Phil (I think) said on another thread, it's good to see multiple examples of one scheme as it gives a sense of cameraderie. Steve That's very good of you Steve I will go for a different number . Dave

    Thanks chaps I think I'll be happier when I can get the wood pack ordered hopefully in a couple of weeks, I'm still waiting for an email from the chaps that make them up. Dave

    I see that's taken too I think I'm out of this one folks my enthusiasm is waining a little and I already have builds waiting to go a couple more months would have been handy but i see most here are well on their way. Dave
  15. David Still 1
    OK I'll try for this one Fingers crossed it's not taken. Dave

    Posted by Chris Barlow on 10/11/2019 02:15:47: They all turn into black silhouettes when flying SW in the sun off the Orme Dave! Yes I find that, I have only been flying properly for a year my glider has yellow transparent wings which still silhouette when high up, my sharkface turns into a dot in about 5 seconds!. It does only seem to be useful fairly close in....to me anyway. My dad can't remember them being camo. just silver but he said they were pretty worn so could have just lost their paint. Dave

    I have been talking to the old man tonight and he directed me to this one as he felt the raf camo. would be hard to see. if not bagsied already I might bag it I just need to find a three view of it.   It looks like it'll be glassed then that should make the scheme easier to apply. I'll be ordering my wood pack in a couple of weeks time I'm starting to feel a little excited. Dave     Edited By David Still 1 on 08/11/2019 23:04:59

    I have looked through the various bits and threads on here I see it's fully sheeted/planked what will folks be covering with as I guess most will be spray painted looking at the schemes being chosen. I guess it will have to be tough due to the nature of the flying areas. Dave

    Posted by Martin Gay on 06/11/2019 22:52:31: Hi Dave, The Sabre will go well on Chagford slope in a decent breeze! Flown there many times when I was a member of the same club. Stan Yeo could probably help get you sloping. Martin. Yes I was talking to one of the guys about it he recommended Chagford and black hill I have a big rudder elevator model to practice with. We were saying that for a slope club most of the flying happens at the little Haldon site Stan is stepping down from the club this year. Dave

    Well it looks like I'm in fingers crossed I will get started in the new year I have permission to get a wood pack next month then I'll get all the other sheet etc. in December January latest. I am a member of Dartmoor slope soaring club but I've never slope soared I fly my electric RES glider from a flat field but looking to join some of the guys on the slopes soon. The scheme I've chosen is an RAF scheme 229 OCU Sqn. which my dad was on. I'll be watching your builds with interest and gather some tips before I can get started, I have built a few stick and tissue models and a couple of rc models so not a complete novice.       Dave Edited By David Still 1 on 06/11/2019 19:25:21

    Ok I'll have a word with the finance dept. and with Christmas approaching maybe I can forgo my extra lump of coal and persuade her this will keep me warm through the winter. Dave
  25. David Still 1
    I would love to build one my dad was on the f-86 with 229 OCU sq. but will only be able to get a plan and wood pack or start till the new year will that be too late to join in?.   Dave Edited By David Still 1 on 05/11/2019 21:34:19 Edited By David Still 1 on 05/11/2019 21:52:19
