Erfolg Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I do not remember the Silvaire or the Manic. Both of which I would really like to build. Although not quite on topic, A supply of EPP needs supporting for this genre of model is to gain greater popularity. Keep those pictures coming, most inspiring.

A supply of EPP needs supporting for this genre of model is to gain greater popularity. The Maniac was from March 2008 issue if I recall. Ive seen a few kicking around in the UK (including this nice airbrushed green one from RCME Forumite Jonathan Lewzey - top picture). I totally agree about your comments on EPP. Both the Maniac and bigger Edge 540 (bottom 2 pics) seemed really popular across the pond, which I can only put down to ready availablity of good quality, cheap foam.

Jimbo565 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Erfoig, My mistake regarding the Silvaire,Its from Radio modeller free plan,I still have it if you want it. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Jim You mean there is another magazine? Are you sure? Can you mention it here? Now life is strange, I mentioned to a club member that RCM&E had published a free plan of the Luscombe Silvaire and I fancied building one. He then replied I have a plan and article from Radio Control Scale Aircraft, for a 42" version, do you wanted it? I replied yes. So I now have a plan,from October/November issue, which i am about to start. Life is strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo565 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Erfoig,If young Ashers is watching i might get disconnected or excommunicated or something like that but my legal rep. the king of NE1 Kendo Andersonic will sort him out. great thread by Ton, generating great interest, I have sent plans to guys in London and Folkstone for the MIni Super, Mini Hog and DH Moth Minor. If I can get a few more of Peter Millers freebies in I might get a mention in the will.

Ton van Munsteren Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Well what can I say more than thanks guys for posting all those great pics of you models. Iam not a foam modeller but must admit that Maniac looks like good fun to me. Hoping to see lots more freeplan model pics, there must be at least a 1000 models out there, so that should make this a great and long running topic with lots of pics and a super motivator for building your own freeplan model.

Peter Miller Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Flytilbroke wote The orange/white model in the post by Ton, although not quite the same , looks very similar to Peter Millar's "ZENAIR SUPER acro-zenith CH180". In an alterternative September Magazine. Somehow I don't think your aircraft recognition is really that good. This is the Zenith Super Acro. Now maybe I am wrong but it doesn't look much like a Corby Starlet to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 This is Wight Crusader a design by Keith Humber a free plan from Radio Modeller before it became absorbed into RCME. A great flying model but it seems to have no plan number so it's no longer possible to get a plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erfolg Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Congratulations Andy, you have done what many of us have promised to do. The PSS Mustang looks to be a really good conversion. Congratulations again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Gates Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks Erfolg, the Mustang flew incredibly well considering is was so badly under powered, around 30-40 w/lb. I would recommend it - especially properly powered. So what have you built? Anything special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclicscooby Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Loving these pics... Great post.. I'm reletively new to this plank game, and i'm really miffed i've missed soo many cool plans.. The big foamie Edge, the ultimate Bipe, and the Hyperbipe... I've only built 4 planes.. 1 Guillows, 2 freebies, 1 own design.. Freebies are Petes Tailwind, rescaled to 32".. . And a Q&EF (is that swearing.? ) profile Edge, which is what gave me the confidence to 'REALLY' start flying.. . Luv Chrisie.. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
