Pick a Plane 2011

[Peter Hogstrom]

Hello All.

How about some Swedish ''Heavy Metal'' 

I think that if Mr Nijhuis will pot a lot of work on a new build project I think it wold be a aircraft that are little different that you can buy as a ARF.

Here are my suggestions of some not common but interesting aircraft.

1. Saab J21A .HERE

2. FFVS J22 .HERE

3. Saab S18 B18. HERE

4. Handley Page Hampden P5 .HERE

will se what airccraft that will win but as I said I hope it will be something interesting and unusual.

Hi All>>

 >>

Here is my suggestion>>

 >>

How about the V22 Osprey the tilt wing aircraft from Bell-Boeing >>

 >>

I would think this would be a good subject (electric)>>

> >

Not a helicopter or a plank >>

> >

Maybe a difficult subject to construct with fully tilting rotors>>

> >

Even more interesting learning a new way of flying (Moving from the hover to forward flight and back again for landing, may even require a Gyro for heading hold)>>

> >

Not been done as yet, apart from silverlit as far as I know

> >

I think that it would a great project and certainly a Model of Interest at any club or show>>

Would like to see one of the following

 

Fairey Battler

Airspeed Oxford

Hawker Fury

[martin hawes]

For a complete challenge based on size alone:

 

1 . Russian ANTONOV 225 - super heavy cargo jet with six engines - large enough to carry a space shuttle on its back.

 

 

2. Airbus A600ST Beluga - designed as a flying truck, carge being loaded through a lift up door at the front (carge door lifts up from the nose section) while the crew flight deck slots in underneath

 

 

 

3. Canadair - CL415 - The worlds only firefighting plane that is amphibious.

[Rob Dunn]

Focke Wulf 90

 Wildcat

the one that has court my eye is the MB-5  seen at the NATS by Tim Ruck's his was a 1/5 scale very nice plane flow like a dream

[martin taylor 1]

How about the Supermarine Attacker. A not often modeled taildragger jet.

[David Gilder]

My thought would be a B1B Lancer!!!

That really would look good in the sky....     Even as a PSSA model  !!!!

 

[gadyrdal]

My suggestions is:

 

1- F22 raptor with twin 70mm EDF

 

2- Cosmic wind "ballerina" in 1/3 scale

 

3- F9F Panther power scale soarer

 

I would build all three...

 

Have allready built two of Tony's planes, the Hurricane and the Spitfire.

[Tiger Tim]

How about ,TIGER MOTH:  72"

                       AUSTER:  60"

                       TA152/FW 190D: 60"

  preferably electric,and I'll sneak in another favourite-Catalina flying boat.

Hi,

 

I enjoy the "warbird" theme and would like to see it continue with 70" + wingspans:

 

1. Mosquito, Mk VI

2. FW 190 - "butcher bird"

3. P40 - Warhawk

 

The Mosquito is a classical British design in term of its sheer design elegance & the underlying "in your face in times of adversity" personality it represents.  The fact that this can be made as a "club" twin (IC/electric) makes this even more compelling.

 

Regards,

Lionel

[John Payne]

My choices are:-

 

1   Pitts Special

 

2   Chipmonk

 

3   Miles Libelula

 

Cheers, and good luck Tony!

 +1 on the Mosquito Mk VI

 

Fairey Barracuda would be interesting, though the retracts would be a challenge.

 

Vultee Vengeance? Interesting wing shape.

[Kozmyk]

Thought about this later ...

Bring on the EDF 

 

1. Meteor

 

2. Hunter

 

3. VC-10

 

64mm edfs are so cheap now and lipos are much better but how about twin 70mm edfs in a Meteor ???????? 

[Terence Lynock]

Can I ask the same as last year? that suggestions are  sensible, able to be constructed by the avarage modelmaker and affordable?  and isnt it time we had a decent plan for a glider???
