Very Smart they are too!

We shall have to see. At the moment just doing the Compufoil wing is enough.

Great! Glad that you are happy. CG on the spar is right!

I agree about the drag flaps. I wonder why they are needed when there are elevons. They might be a step too far. We shall see. I do favour the KISS principle. Keep it simple stupid!!!

Hi Martin I never mind what people do to my designs, it is also designing and people can improve on them in that way. What matters is that people have fun and enjoy what they do. I am designing an interesting model at the moment just to keep my mind working. It is the MW 9 Plank. Look it up on You Tube. If I don't make it I have a very experienced builder who says He will "one day".

VERY NICE!!!! Ah Yes!!! we have an unflown one in the club...waiting to hear how the builder likes it but his is electric. Not the same!!!

I have just come to a standstill. I have a plan on the computer but someone else will build it. I no longer go flying. I can see the flying field from my bedroom with a spotter scope and that is as near as I get. I do more photography now,just local...Very Local or tabletop.

I wonder if I will ever see any of these completed!! I am coming up to 87 so probably not.

My last job was a the tecnician in a craft, design and technical department in an upper school. We had a lad in his final year and his final project was a "toybox" Which consisted of six sheets of chipboard and which was diabolical. Now I was using the equipment to do a "Government" job building a small glow engine and he spotted this and suddenly found a real interest. As I had enough spare material started teaching him. This included turning and milling etc. He didn't have time to finish it but he had gone a long way towards that.. The head of the department was completely amazed. I think I got more satisfaction from finding the lads inspiration to go on and hopefully find a career in something that really interested him. Oh! And mine was finished but didn't work, My Guru Tom Crompton explained where I had gone wrong on the piton/cylinder fits.

Forum members' new models: Let's see them.

Which would mean hours of painstaking work with a sharpened piece of tube for something that would only only be seen in close inspection. In the picture that is yours truly back in about 1958-9. (must check service record) The Canadians visited St Mawgan and then found that our Houchins could not produce enough electric power to start the Sabres so they had to fly in their own starter trolleys. -
