Pete B Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Highly recommended, Dale. Do a forum search on 'Rainbow' for a few threads, including this one where I posted some photos of the small amount of 'beefing-up' needed. The Rainbow is my 'hack' model - not many weeks when it doesn't get an airing. Very forgiving to fly, light wing loading, use it as a camera plane. No tendency to tip-stall when used with flaperons and can hover with them in a breeze......... As you may have noticed, I quite like mine.............

john fuller 1 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Plan needed - Can anyone help me please? I bought a second-hand Rainbow which has now met with a slight (?) mishap, and I need to get hold of a plan so that I can build a new fuselage.

Terry Walters Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yes John - still got one but mine is an IC aeroplane now. No plan of course it's an ARTF when sold so you will need to put the bits together to work out how it is built. Any help re photos etc - please ask and I'll do my best.

john fuller 1 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks for that Terry, hadn't realised it was an artf. Unfortunately when I stripped the covering off the fuselage I found that it had been bodged very badly a few times in the past and the only good bit of the repairs was in the re-covering!! , and I binned the remains thinking I could buy a plan, just keeping the wing and tail section. I would appreciate any photo's you can help with, and measurements of fuselage length, width and depth I think I should manage to create another from that. This is always the problem with buying second-hand, you cant strip off the covering to see what horrors lie beneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 HI John - give me a few days - I'll do what I can - the build is at least mainly in balsa so that's a good thing. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
