Lpilot Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thanks Tosh, Have started with 1/8th sheet and 2mm ply, and see how I get on with that. I think it would be helpful if Graham (or his team/designer) could supply a cutting list? Thanks anyway with the reply.Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Liew Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi Dave I'm writing this from Malaysia, where I bought the Oct 2007 back-issue w/plan for a measly 1.50 Quid Its a really interesting & unusal plan and looks like it will fly well Since my SC 61 4S power my 6.5lb mustang just perfectly, I'm planning of in a SC 80-91 4S as I think this would power this 9lb scale model just right.. well its that or my Saito 72!!Out here in Asia we got nice thin REAL mahogany ply/ramin/veeneer at only SIX Quid for a huge 6ft x4ft x1/8 ' sheet.!!. So I'm looking forward to finishing the fuse with real hardwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Sounds good Martin, welcome to the forum. Yes, it's a real cabinet makers model that one, flies well though. Keep us posted, piccies are always nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARBON_ROD Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 It's a funny thing really , I was at the patch on sunday rummaging through some old copies and came across the bloody Mary ,I have to say it grabbed me straight away what a stunning model !As vintage models are my mane thing i have to build one ,But reading some posts on here just realised there is a second plan i'm hoping it will be in the pile at the patch other wise i will have to beg it from some were, I'm going to sit and have a read upon it ,I'm getting quite excited about it now i have decided to build it .
