Colin Leighfield Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Doug McHard's "Wee Snifter" for my old Mills 0.75. I built one in 1961, also with a Mills 0.75. This one will be radio controlled, which was impossible then, even if I'd had any money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi Guys are you going to bring them along to Greenacres 2013? There will be an opportunity to fly with the models that missed out this year due to poor weather. Would be great to see them? Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've built a Doug McHard Wee Snifter with a Mills 0.75. (Made the last one in 1960). Greenacres could be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Seriously thinking about this but converted to electric The Mercury Marauder. Still like its 'diamond' fuselage! My brother built one 62 years ago and I still have the plan and most of the wings. It needed quite a bit of nose weight - about the same as a modest brushless. Also intended to carry ballast in the fuselage under the wing - about the same as a reasonable size LIPo. But would it manage acceptable control with such a tiny fin/rudder or be better with small ailerons instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lubbock Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi, the tiny rudder will be fine with that amount of dihedral, use no more than about 20deg movement either way. Also , if you are using an elevator, consider extending a tapered ply dihedral brace out at least 2 rib bays, maybe adding an extra spar and webs to the inner panels, you will be stressing the wing much more than intended even at the same flying weight. A small motor, battery, RX and servos shouldn't weigh much more than the original rubber/prop combination anyway, so should make a great flying model. You should only need 20-30W of power and aim for a CG much further forward than the FF position. Best of luck, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Etheridge 1 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 First complete a Veron Mini-Concord from E-bay and include the wings from my kit purchased from Heset Model Supplies bought when the shop closed in 1976. The wings were left by someone who broke into my garage and took the fuselage plus a number of other modelling items including the box from my DC Merlin powered Southern Junior Models 'Southern Dragon' another plane I have been thinking about building since I lost the original plane in 1962.

DCW Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 CAP Devils Duster. I had the above delta in the mid eighties, now long gone. I decided to build another but have been unable to track down a plan. I am therefore resigned to draw up a plan and build one from memory... Hope I get it right! See 'Devils Duster' in the forum. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heset model Supplies - there's a name from the past. Bought my 1st R/c model kit from there around 1973 - a Mercuy Matador. Tried to fly in using a wee Magreggor single channel with a 3 function escapment . Push once for left, twice for right and if you were very quick 3 times for kick up elevator. 1st and only flight (if you could call it that) was over on Mitcham Common nr Croydon. Everybody had to stop flying as the set was I think Superhet? (Only one radio at a time). They didn't have to wait very long, about 20secs if I remember correctly. Those were the days.
