The PSS boys like it rough!
The wind dropped and Phil Cooke made a downwind landing to save the model

Hi Phil,
This thread prompted me to look at my collection of 35MHz receivers. I don't have a dual conversion crystal, but I do have a JR 7-channel synth rx if that is of any use to you.

You don't realise how big this PSS model is until you see the 36" balsa sheets on the back of the table!

Andrew, being too flat in your locale is no excuse! 😄
The PSSA have a member that drives from Belgium to North Wales. This year we had another member from the USA join us for one event.
It is definately worth a visit when the wind is blowing. It is also addictive.

Toto,
I beefed up door security with two U-bolts through the door frames ans a steel bar across the outside of the doors. This was put through the U-bolts and padlocked at either end. It also stopped the handle from being turned.
All in all a good visual deterrent to a casual thief.
Martin.

Phil,
The holes in the lower skin will be between the two ply half ribs highlighted in red below!

I recommend fitting the drop tank(s) mechanism. You don't have to use it, but it is there should you decide to fit them.
On the photos that I have seen the drop tanks are on the inner part of the wings and the outers carry the missiles. However, I have only seen one photo of this configuration, so you may not need the outer mechanism if your chosen scheme only had drop tanks.

Very tidy work!

If I make do with 600mm, I'll get two surfaces of 610mm from each 1220 x 2440 sheet
Toto,
This could allow you to double up on the thickness of the worktops!

If you are adding drop tanks, now is the time to consider the linkages.
The twin riblets are where the drop tanks would be fitted.

R1 adjusted on the wing plan and the cut files, at least it was too long and not too short!
Many thanks.

It's going together nicely Phil.
Have you seen the canopy buck yet?

Looking at the work you are doing, Chris, it won't be long before your Dak is in the air again.
I am hoping for another "maiden flight" at the next PSSA meeting in 24 days.
-
I do like the DC3. This is my own design 1/32nd sized version on it's short maiden flight. Unfortunately, it suffered from an almost terminal tip stall shortly after this photo was taken.
A new wing is being constructed with more washout. Hopefully that will reduce, if not cure, the tip stall problem.

I find it easiest to view the item in person before buying anything.
Yes, it is limited by how far I am willing to travel, but I find that scammers disappear quickly when I ask for an address!
-
To be honest, you followed the plan!
I will update the fin drawing to reflect the thicker fin on this size of Sabre.
Apologies.
-
That will work, I did it that way on the little Lancaster and DC3 which used a single central keel.
You will need to keep checking that the fuselage stays straight, though.

Very neat planking Phil. No gaps visible on the inside either. I am impressed.

It's look good, Phil.
I wish my workbench was as clean and tidy as your one!

Adrian, I think it is the Andy Conway Tonka.
