Christmas over. Turkey eaten. Building RedEagle finally underway.......

  Thanks kc, I had thought about using a sheet of plasterboard on top of our glass dining room table (when the better half is not looking). I thought the glass table would be dead flat, but I was concerned that the pins would not stick into the plasterboard very well. I guess from what you are saying they hold well enough.   I should be OK with dual colour scheme on the wings - I was a dab hand with the solarspan back in my teens. Of course that was several decades ago, when my faculties all worked correctly. I'm hoping is just like riding a bike - you never forget ....   I just need to decide what colours I want - and which film to use......   Edited By Jason Inskip on 18/11/2017 22:57:51 Edited By Jason Inskip on 18/11/2017 22:58:11

Hello RedEagles, It’s been a while since I last posted here – desperately trying to get hold of a plan for this plane. Thanks to the generosity of members in this group, I swiftly took receipt of a plan (Thanks again Andy!) Since then I have been acquiring all the materials for the build as time & money allowed. I’ve finally got everything I need – except the covering film. As it’s been nearly 30 years since my last build, (and there has been a wife, children & several house moves in-between), I no longer have a building board. Before I can start building, I will need to make myself a new one! Hoping to sort that in the next few of weeks. I’ve got a couple of weeks off over Christmas, so planning on finally getting stuck into the build then. Really looking forward to it! As for the covering, I’ve only used either tissue & dope, or solarspan before. I’m certainly not planning on going down the tissue & dope route! So a covering film it will be. Any advice on what type of covering film I should use would be appreciated. I’ve obviously used solarspan, but have not tried solarfilm. I’ve heard of oracover, but have never seen it. I also see Hobbyking do a range of films. What did you guys use? Still trying to decide on final colour scheme, but it is likely to be something along the lines of the following: (apologies for using other members photos!)   Any tips/advice gratefully received!

Work. That thing we have to do in order to fund the hobby, yet stops of from having time to undertake the hobby. Edited By Jason Inskip on 16/09/2017 14:45:27

Woods. Nobody likes sticking it in a tree......

Posted by Andy G. on 13/08/2017 08:24:32: Jason, I still have the copy that I built mine from somewhere, if I can find it you are welcome to it. Big thanks to Andy who very kindly posted me his copy of the RedEagle plan. I can now start gathering materials together ready for my first build in 20 years (since getting married / having kids / mortgage etc. etc.) Really looking forward to it!

Posted by Andy G. on 13/08/2017 08:24:32: Jason, I still have the copy that I built mine from somewhere, if I can find it you are welcome to it. Hi Andy, That's really generous of you. If you can find it, that would be fantastic. I'll happily pay postage of course, and could also make a copy and send your original back to you (in case you ever want to make another). Many thanks Jason

Thanks guys. I don't want to buy the kit, just the plan. I will try contacting My time media for a back issue as you suggest (I have already read the build article via my digital subscription, but I only have magazine hardcopies dating back to 2015). Failing that lets hope Sarik hobbys release the plans for sale! Cheers

I've been trying to buy a copy of this red eagle plan, but the traplet plans shop seems to be permanently closed. Anybody know where I can get a copy of the plan from?
