robert graham Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Barry Wetherell,Hi Barry, Flight magazine did a report on the Whirlwind I mentioned; apparently it was said to be in flying condition and was owned by an ex fighter pilot; more than that I can't tell you, but it would be a pity if none were still in existance.

robert graham Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 David Mills, You are the only one I've seen to propose the old "Stringbag". I think it deserves a big vote, maybe as big as coming second to the Whirlwind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Roberts Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Richard Bond wrote (see)Martin, do you mean the CF 105 Avro Arrow, which was a (large) fighter ?Hi Richard, methinks you might be right, all I know is it did look like a heavy B when I saw it last, its a very big plane for a fighter, but a nice low wing loading, Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Roberts Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 would some one with more time than me like to do a table of votes/planes, and I might also ask where is your national pride, do you all forget your heritage, stop asking for Tony to waste his time on that which you can buy as an ARTF, we do want something that we want to build from scratch, forget the Mes and Fws etc........if you don't want a genuine original one off.......buy a kit, there are way too many cheap kits out there.... next will be a call for F-86/Mig-15/AeroMacchis or how about Hornets, /14/15/16s /22s /35 /Foxbats/Floggers/.......Hell, why not DaVinci's helicopter......and don't get caught upon what motor size Tony should design for......you can scale up or down to suit if you are a modeller or can get to a print shop - that part is easy pick your motor or required fan size, do a bit of maths, have the plans scaled both in X and Y directions........

Chris Truman Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Well I`m into warbirds so lets see, well you dont see plans for these 3 very often.Spitfire F21HellcatMe 111 (electric) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Fissenden Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi Folks,here are my suggestions1 Gloster Javelin twin electric approx 1.4 metres wingspan (good size for the car) with retracts2 Dehavilland Mosquito twin electric3 Spinks Acrostar approx 1.4metres wingspan (built light for either IC or Electric) Not British I know but a favorite of mine, the ones I have built have been to heavy in design.Quite a varied selection but with a view to our roots as a leader in aircraft design. British and Proud to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Rowse Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 There are many aircraft which I would like to propose but as we can only suggest three,here they are 1) Percival P56 Provost (electric) 2) Comper Swift ( either version) (electric) 3) Gloster Javelin (edf or pusher electric) Having been interested in aircraft since 1952(approx) there are many aircraft which I would like to model so it was difficult to decide which to put forward . Thanks for the plans which have already been published,I have built some and I am making up a "kit" to build a "Chatterbox 2000". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdc Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 The Gloster Javelin a very distinctive & under-modelled British plane!A nice red & white colour scheme is on the Javelin at Duxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Todd Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Here are my suggestionsVulcan B2, Valiant, and Victor, all approx 3' wing span or greater and preferably electric powered, pusher prop maybe, it would seem to me that these aircraft are sadly represented as flying models and were part of the cold war's most succesful aircraft, especially the Vulcan and the Victor as these went on to perform roles well beyond they're original brief with spectacular successJust my thoughtsMike Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Josefski Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The scratch builders are still out there waiting in the wings (pun intended). So refreshing to open a magazine and read a construction article instead of review after review of ARFs. I often take a trip down the nostalgia lane, reading through model magazines from the 1970's onwards, revisiting construction articles. Yes, ARFs introduce new participants into our hobby but the art of scratch building must continue. How about something different to those that have been flogged to death? And let the plan have the option of i.c or electric power.First choice; Gloster Javelin 2 x ducted fans 40, 46 or electric equiv ( 60 to 72 " span)Second choice; Northrop N9M Flying Wing (single or twin engine) No fuselage!! as above3rd choice: Fieseler Storch as above Construction plans for these 3 aircraft are rare as hen's teeth.
