Hi All Some of the club members and I went flying Boxing Day. Took the BiStormer and flew it most of the day. It really doen't like cross wind landings!!   Still the ASP worked flawlessly and the wind wa in our favour most of the day. Added more rudder throw and more rudder-to-aileron mix. It is a real peach to take off and land. Weather is looking OK for Monday so I might get my Seagull Dual Ace out for a spin.   More pics to follow.....................................

  Flew the Bi-Stormer on Sat 19 Dec. Went really well, floats on a treat. The ASP 61FS pulls well. The throws are just right, Ailerons are 10mm up and 5mm  down ( differential is good ), C of G is very good at 5 1/4" back from L.E. top wing, rudder 25mm each way, elevator 15mm up and down. Mixed some rudder with the aileron to help turn corners about 30 - 40 %. I flew it with no expo................See how you all get on. Hope these initial values are of some use.. The blue Bi-Stormer is a club mates that was built about 30 years ago

Posted by julian on 16/12/2009 21:25:16: A nice looking model Peter,it's given me an incentive to complete mine although i'm undecided on what colour sceme to use.  I checked my plan and construction notes but couldn't find any recommendations for the control surface movements. I haven't found much on the Bi-Stormer either although i believe they were popular,along with David Boddingtons Barnstormer 35+ years ago. Keep us posted on its maiden flight.   The colour scheme that I chose was off the web showing a Tiger Moth in Silver and Red. The Solatex is quite striking in real life and the contrast should make seeing it in the air a little easier.  

  AND HERE SHE IS COMPLETE!!!!!!!!  

Only just the top of the upper wing to cover. The C of G as per DBSport & Scale web page 5 1/4" back from L.E. upper wing. Should be up and away on Saturday. Will let you know how we got on.   I am suprised there is not more on the BiStormer. Very little info on RCUniverse and nothing of value. Is this model type a bit of an English style I wonder.

I've got a 72" as well. I am putting an ASP 62 FS in it. Several club members have had one - they have all said its a nice relaxing flyer, but not aerobatic or 3D!!   Will post more pics when finished

Hi Just bought the above plane and would like some info. What I'm looking for is what wind conditions would suit, throw values for all surfaces. I have put an ASP .61 FS in and this will suit I hope.   Any comments would be great........   Couldn't post pictures I'm affraid, couldn't get it to work. I'm I thick or something Edited By Peter Smedley on 13/12/2009 20:42:59 Edited By Peter Smedley on 13/12/2009 21:05:07 Edited By Peter Smedley on 13/12/2009 21:06:09

Hello and thanks but I tried to open it and I could because even though I'm a registered member I don't suscribe to the mag yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anybody help with some pictures of how a four stroke was mounted in the cowl???   I have an ASP .70 sitting in the garage doing nothing ( don't we all  )so I was thinking that the BH Chip would be ideal.   Many thanksEdited By Peter Smedley on 10/09/2009 12:06:57

Does anybody know the name of the model shop somewhere in England that does alot of LED lighting....I have had a senior moment and forgotton!!

Hi, can I join in a minute.....   To play Devils advocate, my Model Technics Formula 3D plane had no pilot.....until I put the Typhoo monkey in the driving seat!!   His aerobatics are slowly improving........ GO MONKEY

Woolly girraffes?????????????

 Llamas are posh looking aren't they...Our flying strip near St. Austell has to have the scabby sheep chased off it. NOT with my trousers around my ankles either !

   You are dead right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I bought a JP microtacho and it reads spot on 3000 for 2 blade prop and of course 1500 for a 4 blade! Cymaz

HELLO...........I'VE NOT GONE QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!!! I put an ASP 30 four stroke in the Junior 60 and a fine job it makes of pulling the old bird around the sky. It also sounds sooooo good.

Great news Emil.......I need to decrease my wing incedence a little more so that it will fly level without using all my down trim. I find the best coditions to fly the Junior 60 is calm. My rule of thumb is if the branches are moving its too windy. Enjoy getting it out of the loft...................   P.S. Don't fall through the hatch....messy business that!

Hi all Does anyone have more info on a feature a while ago on the Huges Tigershark. I think it had a 71" wing span and powered by a four stroke...........any plans available?????????? Many thanks

Well there she is folks

Eye Spy with my little eye........................................

Please put me in your wot4 draw for what I know Peter
