Stephen Grigg Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Id be happy to do any ARTF for anyone for free.Someone PMd me to do a Seagull 40 about a year ago,I offered to do it free,never heard anything again,Obviously didnt offer enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 We could do a "mass build" day - not Christmas day though - Mrs BEB would kill me! It could be fun - all building the same model on the same day. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Posted by Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 25/12/2010 23:25:32:OK, Stephen built a Seagul model - anyone else built a Seagull model - I haven't. I've heard good things about them though. BEB I was lucky enough to win a Seagull Extra 300S on this very forum - very pleased with it and it was nicely built. There was a problem with the supplied fuel tank fitting through the front bulkhead which needed work with a Dremel - although as I was fitting a Super Tigre 91 instead of the recommended 60 I needed to fit a larger SLEC tank anyway. Perhaps it was a pre-production model that had been sent to RCM&E but I must say I was a little disappointed not to receive any acknowledgment from the distributor when I pointed this out to them. Anyway, despite this minor problem I have had many happy hours out of it and it continues to perform well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I have "acquired" a Parkzone Extra 300 - I've never flown one of these aerobatic monoplane types (extra, edge, yak etc) before - except for the odd "go" on someone elses. Should be fun - but the snow is stopping me having a go BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Gilder Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 So then.... BEB..... It would need to be a budget model in order to maske it accessible to most modellers and a plan of action would need to be drawn up!!!! Suggestions welcome!!!! Maybe something for a small engine also!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I haven't yet had a Seagull model but, judging by today's relatively problem-free build, they must be doing something right. I cannot immediately recall any ARTF model I've built that didn't have at least one issue arise during assembly that needed pausing and thinking about. Must have a look at their kit list............Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Posted by Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 25/12/2010 23:31:59:Our club has a strange tradition on Boxing day - folks go down to the field - take a flask have nip - but no one flies a model! Good fun though! We still have snow on the ground - like most others I guess - I've been resisting buying/making a set of skis - I just know that the second I do the big thaw will come... But I suspect I won't get any of my models off the ground under the present conditions. BEB PS Note to self - Must write more but shorter posts Time to break with tradition! I fitted an old pair of floats that I was given a while back to my Limbo Dancer last week - worked brilliantly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something for a small engine also!!!! Yeah, let's gauge interest with a thread tomorrow - I'd be up for it as long as we pick a sensible day with lots of notice. It would have to be something small - cheap - easy to build so that lots of folks could join in. Maybe something for a 40 - most of us have at least one old 40 knocking about! Or even something electric - like the Hustle say...or the Fun Cub in honour of Stephen! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
