Malcolm Fisher Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 For me, the first choice would be a Supermnarine Sea Otter - like the Walrus but with a tractyor prop.A BoultonPaul Defiant would be OK.For third place a soarer such as a Grunau Baby or an Olympia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi guys, At this stage we'll give the votes a couple more weeks then we'll sit down and try and devise a shortlist from the suggestions, then we'll probably ask everyone for a final say from the shortlist. Size-wise we are restricted to a model no larger than last years Typhoon (give or take) simply due to the fact that the plan has to fit inside the mag' - cost comes into consideration too. Many thanks to everyone who's taken the time to vote so far, It makes for fascinating reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Shearer Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi.Having had a quick look through the choices to date I`m surprised that so many people aresuggesting plans that Tony has already issued as free planssuch as Lancaster,S.6B, Halifax(to be issued later in the year) Mosquito (Two Versions) both electric with the larger for i/c also.To me, Tony isthe "KING" of the model designers---Long may he reign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.A. Barry Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 WELL guys, appox 1 week to go, to get your votes in, IF YOU WANT A TWIN, then you have to vote for the WESTLAND Whirlwind, SO many of you have said " there's enough plans of, Spit's, Hurricanes, Me110's, FW190's, Sea Fury's", you name it, they have all been done before, in various, formats / size/ I.C/ Elect. I would think that a challenge for a model builder is to look at something, that is in "favour", would be "one" THAT has had very little exposure. If you want to build a "run fo the mill " planes, sure, But we are asking Tony N.to offer us something that will give him some enjoyment too, something he will enjoy doing, which I'm sure he does with all his designs, SO let me say once again, in the last 25yrs there has been ONLY 3, yes 3, plans offered for this aircraft (look back on some the "input" on this forum). 2-- elect. and 1 power. "DO YOU" want something different to build ?????????????? VOTE 1, 2,& 3, Whirlwind fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Taylor Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 TonyYou're designing a Lightning and Foxbat! Great minds think alike ;o) I like the idea of a hurricane - RC Scale models produced a free plan for a .29 sized version aaaaaaaages ago, replete with stringers, that keeps peeping out of the "to do plans" folder at me. Last time I suggested the Mitsubishi Ki46 Dinah, and I'm going to suggest it again. My suggestions are:1) Mitsubishi Ki46 Dinah (twin 350W brushless or .25 IC, 60" span)Cosford's Dinah2) Beech Starship (twin speed 400 brushed or brushless, sheet wing)Beech Starship3) Sukhoi Su47 Berkut (single brushless - nose mounted, or EDF if you're feeling adventurous)Berkut 3-viewTwo of these are unorthodox, but by no means beyond the realms of beginners. In fact beginners are probably less habituated to how a traditional model looks in the sky. Tony's skill will be tested in making sure they are stable, flyable, and convincing )Alistair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 On Saturday I took my son to the RAF museum Hendon and we bought a great book called "The World's Worst Aircraft" by Jim Winchester. From that here are three suggestions for wonderful unusual models:Caproni-Stipa (1932 tubby Italian EDF-type plane)Blackburn Firebrand (rare, pretty 1942 fighter, make a nice electric)Saunders Row SR/A1 (1947 jet fighter flying boat of all things, EDF) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Richey Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Tony is so adept at this he could design anything, but let's not get too complicated. How about a chunky Skyraider, or an ugly but elegant Lysander? Regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
