Matthew Lloyd Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Nah Peewhit - Colin just needs to cut through the tape and swap 'em 'round, and re-position the horns at the ends of the elevons - no problem.Well worth doing Colin - it'll protect everything and make you ready for COMBAT!

Tom Satinet Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 There is another guy called Rob Broughton, but he does not have a presence on the Web. He makes some good models though. But no you are pretty limited in your choices when it comes to buying British. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they distributed by a shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken anderson. Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 hello colin-check out 'my photo' album reguarding the guppy.......when you get your kit you'll find the instructions are pretty sparse........there is a build blog for one on the web...give me or one of my staff(enrico the foreign lad)...a shout and we'll pass on any info you req...... the 'guppy' is one really good flyer....and if you order 3 they all go in the same box...and the postage is the same for one. ken kansas anderson............ne 1..

Slopetrashuk Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ron is still producing but all his models are racers really and only available direct. Blitz / Splitz / Polecat / Copycat / Asbo etc. Drop me a pm and I'll put you in touch. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin watson Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 the WT is ready for combat when i get chance to hit the slopes it took me 20 minutes to swap the servos over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Lloyd Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Nice one Colin. Job well done. Now hit the slopes! Do you have an Easterly slope to hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy has sorted you out with his contact details, but as he said we are talking about a quite different type of model than something like a WT. think heavy and fast with "advanced" finishing techniques.

Percy Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 F.Y.I. , "Goop" or , if bought from an auto parts store ,"Automotive Goop" , WAS available here in the U.K. in certain shoe shops and hardware stores as "Shoe Goo" , intended for the repair of simple holes in shoe soles - 'cept that it did'nt ! I tried . I t is , however good for gluing stuff we use , foam and such , but you could get a similar effect with silicone . Now I think on it , the smell of Goop is very similar to Bostik , but Goop comes in a large tube and is cheaper , I get mine on stateside visits , from Wal-Mart , and my dwindling stockpile has become very valuable , as I can't get out there any longer due to my ill health . At least for a while ,anyways . Just a thought on this - how 'bout "No more nails" ? Can't think why this would'nt work . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
