    Nice work Chris. I'm going to try the 'sauce' as I need to prep my Hurricane for paint. Then I need to build two sets of wings. Like your attention to detail, it certainly makes the build. Keep up the good work. cheers Ade

    Price of Kits

    Flyer replied to Tony H's topic in Chit-chat

    I think you'll find it is the exchange rate that has a lot to do with the prices. Most are priced in dollars, and people have to buy containers full of artf's well in advance. The exchange rate was very low a few months back, which could explain the difference now. So now is a good time to support your UK 'KIT' manufacturers (ie not artf foam) as they will turn out the same price as an imported foamy. And, as a bonus, you will develop the skills to repair it when you have the usual bumps and dings. All I need now is time to build Ade

    Look what the postman delivered from a very very nice man at Island Models. Laser cut, will be commencing build once I've sprayed the Hurricane and built two Sabre wings.

    Posted by Gary Manuel on 12/08/2020 16:41:08: Posted by Flyer on 12/08/2020 16:26:57: In Wales the applications for the business rates relief grant closed on the 30th June. It was administered by the local authority, and to be eligible, you had to be in receipt of business rates relief. You also had to state on the application that the club had been 'adversely affected' by the pandemic. Does not being able to fly count as "adversely affected"? Seems everytime I pick up a transmitter I am adversely affected

    Well........a man can Never, Ever not have enough clamps! I've finally glued one fuselage together, and was glad I had so many clamps to assist. Progress should be a little quicker from now on, as I've spent so long trying to get the air brakes to function. I may leave them off the TF86 as that one will be a little heavier due to the longer fuselage and extra pilot. We will see by the weekend whether I will risk it or not. Cheers Ade

    If last week is anything to go by, I could be having fried octupi rings with chips Sunday night

    I'll be making my Spitfire for me; it will be (I hope!) a fair representation of an actual aircraft of that era. I've read somewhere that paint was applied in theatre, so would be subject to local variations. At the end of the day, if it looks right, then that is great for me. If someone else has a problem with how many rivets I've missed, I will not lose sleep over it. I'll have more problem flying in a scale manner tbh lol Cheers Ade

    Not sure how my new octopus will perform; he's been out of sorts since lockdown, but I suppose if he fails, he'll make a lovely supper! Difficult to predict, Red Bull usually does well here, but unless they sandbagging first two sessions, it could be a race for the lesser places. Good luck all. Cheers Ade

    If you must use the carbon tubes, could you use a rod of smaller diameter with some glass paper glued around it and use as a reamer? The carbon tube I've used does sand quite easily. Ade

    A game's only a game when you lose........... Good luck all for the weekend. It will be very interesting to see how the teams perform. Ade

    must resist, must res........ 63" inch sounds very interesting! And would be worth the investment in a sound system. cheers Ade

    Just noticed the use of a plumb bob on fixing the fin Phil; simply yet effective way to get the correct angle. I will certainly adapt that idea. We learn something new everyday. Cheers Ade

Look forward to seeing your F86 take shape. I've finally worked out a workable solution for the air brakes, so I can now glue the fuselage together. The TF86 will be so much easier now! Cheers Ade

    Andy Meade on here may be able to help you David; he's done some good 3D printed stuff.   Cheers Ade https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/printedpartsfactory   Edited By Flyer on 15/06/2020 19:11:27
