Been building my 1/4 scale tiger for many years now but having retired since Covid, I have made huge progress. The model is ex Traplet and has been a good head scratcher trying to fathom out how best to replicate things to look and work like the real thing. The object of this post is, it’s often better to build things the way they are on the actual aircraft, things often turn out looking better and working as per design. So let’s start with the upper wings on my model, with Handley Page Slats.

Hi all! I obtained a quarter scale Sopwith Pup a while back. It was equipped with a Saito fg33r3 radial with a faulty ignition system..... I replaced the ignition system and installed the rest of the electrics. I balanced it at 145 mm, and it works okay there. I flew it today, and wow what an aircraft. Sure, I had to trim a lot of down and a few clicks right aileron, but it flies very scale like. The sound of the radial is very mesmerizing! The loops were quite big, so the power is "enough"... I use a wood 17X8 propeller. The fuel is alkylate petrol with 7% Stihl HP Ultra oil.
