Flanker . Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So I have an old Bubble Dancer (BD) HLG and learn around six months ago that a big one exists. I find a model shop that has them but is out of stock. They will e mail when they get more kits. I wait. I e mail "any arrived" The reply "yes ages ago , we sold them all. won't be getting more bye" The well known shop will remain nameless. So where Can I find a Bubble Dancer these days ? Grateful for any help. Ta, F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGPuk Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 As far as I can tell, only a short kit is available now, from here: Short Kit BD You construct the rest referring to the plans and info from the Charles Rivers site: CRRC/BD There may have been a more complete EZ (easy) BD kit around at sometime, but I haven't found one after just a quick search.

Myron Beaumont Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just clicked on this thread and my first thought was "What happened to lap dancers ?" The rest I will leave to your imagination before the Mods delete my input . Trying to hit the 5000 post marks by the way just in case you wondered Edited By Myron Beaumont on 11/01/2012 11:32:19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Wright 2 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 bubble dancerI believe the plan is available via down load ,one of our group members built one last year ,its a superb sailplane designed by Dr Mark Drela. Will have to design a model called "Lap Dancer" to keep Myron happy lol..Imagine the spec ,long u/c ,blue trim ,slim fuselage........

RGPuk Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have come across some on the web, who marry the short kit with components from other manufacturers to ease the build. One in particular built the wings and tail feathers from the lazer cuts and used a new fuselage pod and boom (replacement parts) from a particular model made by Topmodel.cz . I don't know if I'll be able to find the link again, but I'll try. Ro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flanker . Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 And again alas the short kit is unavailable. I am looking or a two meter ish cheap thermal glider to play with when I don't want speed n petrol. Dos'nt have to be a BD. Could be something else. Not going to go the plan route as I know it will never get built, but a complete kit would be ok. Thanks all - Myron - lap dancers! I was all excited when I saw how many replies there were. Turns out most were gibberish. Ta for that. Build up yer posts up some place else you Grumpy Person you ! Stamps foot and pouts fetchingly.

To revisit a blast from the past and indulge again in an old friend that served me well for years, I'm building another Graupner Amigo. A nice build, classic design, convenient size and a good, simple, relaxed flier. For some well thought out and effective ARF/ ARC machines, I've been pleased with stuff from Topmodel Ro.

RGPuk Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 To be honest Chris, I've purchased direct from Topmodel Cz (and also got spares - canopy/fin/stab etc) with no hassle. Just sent 'em an e-mail to get the ball rolling, then did a web transfer/PayPal of funds. Ro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
