Tim Hooper Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Ton, Looks great, and I love the 'proper' hinges for the control surfaces! But what I really want to know is - what's your daughter up to?tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton van Munsteren Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Allan, Thanks and good to hear its your favorit threat will do my best to keep it that way My designs of RBCkits are the Micro Warbirds, Frechdachs, Corby Starlet, F100, Lip 20, Yak 23, Yak 15, Gloster G40 and the Wave Flying boat (rcme plan). So sorry no AT5 but if you have any question about that model I have the plan and will do my best to help you. Daniel, Thanks will take some time and lets hope the Fiat will fly as it should be, if so it will definitely will do my best to make a plan for RCME. Sorry a Macchi will not be next have so other models to finish first but it will get there in the future. Don't think that the next Warbird will be 2mtr its just to big for my workshop iam planning on going to about 1600mm span with the Efligt electric retracts. Danny, If I can do it Iam 100% sure you can do it with your eyes closed Tim, Thanks and will post a photo of my daughters model tomorrow the model is finished and flying already and its send in to Graham for a plan in RCME need some more pics but will be published before the summer.(I hope) The best thing is that I can fly the model when ever I like, am I a lucky dad or what.

Danny Fenton Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi Ton, my three year old daughter insisted that I order her a set of laser parts and cowls for a Taylor 83" Mosquito, well thats what I keep telling my wife........ somehow she doesn't believe me Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton van Munsteren Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Danny, Tell your wife its for a school project works all the time. Tim, Uploaded some photos of our daughter Nikki and son Dylan the model was for Nikki's school project and was good fun building the model and talking to the kids at school. All the kids had a feeling about the weight of a piece of balsa end the weight of Nikki's model called First Step. They also hold the Corsair by the tail to feel the pull of the prop great to see there faces and hair blowing in the wind. Flying with the good old Speed 400 motor is still good fun.

Wolfie Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Super work Ton, Not just design, but woodwork and mechanics too!Keep on providing these detail photos please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wouter Vroom 1 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi Ton, Nice work again! Why don't you make the hinges from nylon screws (weightsaving / a bit more friction, but less sloppy)? Any progress at the soundmachine? Wouter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton van Munsteren Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi Wouter, Good to have you here and thanks again. A nylon screw would have been possible or is still possible but I have the feeling that such a screw would not be strong enough. For making it less sloppy the best option is always going for metal parts the material is more stable at it self, than any kind of plastic or nylon would be. Okay will sort out some more pics so keep an eye on the thread. Ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
