Looking great! personally I wouldn't double cover but would just us tissue and real dope, I love eze dope but in this case real dope would add strength, decoration is best done using enamels thinned with cellulose... Take a look at "ffscale.co.uk" the guy than owns the site is a master when it comes to indoor scale flying.

Posted by cymaz on 25/05/2020 08:10:55: Nylon and dope might be the way to go Here Or polyester silk and dope with tissue on top, very light, very strong and looks wonderful (imo).

Good question Doc, I fancy one of there diesels. -
Robin, please post a picture, that's a brilliant idea!!

looking good Cliff! love the Gerald Coulson print on your wall, titled "Outbound Lancaster" I believe? Think I would have used pva rather than cyno tbh.

It's Been 45 Years Since I Built One of These

Nice models gents, Ray, I built a invader last year, flys a treat using a lightweight bungee, fit a d/t..it really will fly away given the chance, here's mine: -

Superb! can't wait to see it fly..
-
To my mind vintage types look better once they have a bit of fuel/exhaust staining. It really needs it's name,designer and year on the wing, always a good conversation starter at the field.
-
looks wonderfull David! maybe a little decoration on the wing needed?

Superb Cliff! needs more throw? -
Does it Ace? interesting, my Gamine is the last model designed by Vic Smeed, flys a treat on rudder only.
-
looking fantastic David! I like the idea of the door. Those AR410 rx's are marvellous, got one in my Gamine and intend to fit another in my latest project ( keil Kraft Bantam).

Not sure it works like that Simon...on the Ar6210 and AR410 the battery plugs into the socket on the far left when there facing you.

I use Halfords, it's click and collect only at the moment but saves waiting on the postman and you can normally collect your goods within a hour.

Doc, I do try where ever possible to avoid buying Chinese goods and if I do have to then I'll order through a British model shop and firmly believe in supporting British manufacturers in all aspects of my life. You mention 2 strokes, there's always PAW ( diesels only but lovely engines) or indeed West.

Proper good old fashioned aeromodelling fun Cliff! Bl#@dy well done, made my day that!

I'm not outraged at all Jon and just to set the record straight I spent 35 years working on high performance cars and engines including 20 years in F1 so will I'll refrain from calling my self a expert I do know a thing or two. That cam cover is a half hour job including programming. glad it runs!
-
What a bodge job Jon! working where you do surely you have access to bearing pullers or a lathe to make one? you didn't even acknowledge Martin's suggestion. So you've "rebuilt" it complete with a hole in the crankcase, a leaking exhaust valve and no shim on the head.....hmm!
-
Wonderful! thanks for finding that BE.
-
Superb! thanks for that, filmed at "fantasy of flight"?
-
Brilliant Cliff! lovely model and your garden looks lovely!

A very interesting project Simon, looks like it should make a fine summer evening floater. Can I suggest you change the mono filament line for braid, mono has a lot of stretch whereas braid has zero and is far thinner given the same breaking strain. In case anyone's interested you can get pre-stretched mono but it's very brittle and unpredictable, I once lost a double figure Barbel due it .....

I think PAW 80's are single ballrace? My 149 hates D1000 as well, but runs well on 2000, it is a bugger to start though, possibly a bit worn. I think 3000 would be ok in a 80 but it would have to be run in on something milder first.
