GRAHAM HEALD 1 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi all Just joined you forum as a rookie Airplane Builder.Been a Rc boat builder for many years but got bored with that. I am now building a 72 inch Swordfish from plans but need help with a few probs. 1. Have tried to get a diagram of a closed loop system for an airplane and which is the best set up but so far been unable to locate one. 2.Any one have any ideas for a wing fold system on a swordfish which is realistic and to scale. May seem pretty mundane questions but I am at the stage of planking the fuselage sooner than I expected and need to finish the internals first. Have scoured internet with no avail Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolliffee Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I have wondered for a long time why this iconic plane doesn't have more kits available - in fact know of only one ART kit from ESM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard crapp Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The plan I used is from Len Ashdown in Canada. About 103" L S <[email protected]> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Waters Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi Barry and Graham, I have a Swordfish, it is much modified based on the ESM kit, not flown as yet as am enjoying both some engine and prop issues as well as just looking at it ! Take a look at my album **LINK** It may give you a few ideas ( and nightmares ! ). I did folding wings in a sort of standoff scale way and a load of other stuff as well, the leading edge slats were a bit of a struggle until the lightbulb moment when it became fairly easy to make. A really beautiful old aircraft, and yes, quite surprising it's not modelled more. Enjoy............Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolliffee Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi Shaun. It looks very nice, you have obviously spent a lot of time and effort to get it to a stage your are happy with the look! thanks for sharing the pictures When do you think you'll fly it?
