pete taylor Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Has anyone seen the new GAD EE Canberra for 2 x 70mm EDF? There's a few details on the website and a compilation of pictures of the parts and CAD generated 3d views but none of the completed model. Should be great tbough at that size !

andyh Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm going to bump this thread... anyone seen this model or any other GAD models? their website is awful - really hard to get a proper idea of what they're like, what the kits include, etc. I'd love an nice EDF Canberra but I always thought the engine nacelles were too narrow for a decent scale model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Bastow Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have seen several of their kits fly at my local club, including the prototype of the soon to be released edf Vulcan. All looked good and flew well although I have not seen the Camberra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plummet Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I know that a lot of their kits are EDFs and suchlike. Most are made of Depron. The only one of their kits that I have built is their Gadfly. This is a small model. It looks like an open cockpit version of a spitfire. The kit was well made, and went together easily. It flies well. It is of conventional balsa construction. Do they still sell it? I have to agree with you about the website. It looks as if it was designed by and for someone who had just learned about some new website toys and decided that they had to use them all. What a waste of bandwidth. My machine is not that fast, but I am on a quickish cable link, but the web pages move like treacle with hiccoughs. Plummet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think that Ady Haywood knows the Greenair guys quite well. If I'm right and he sees these posts maybe he can add some info? I must admit a nice Canberra could tempt me to dip my toe into the EDF water!

Cliff Bastow Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I believe you are right about Ady, It's him I have seen flying some of their models at my local club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Hayward Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi Cliff, BEB. The Canberra has been released as a Beta build at present from what I've learned and will be part of a few new releases coming very soon. It is a bit larger than the Meteor that's released and flies really nicely, probably even sweeter than the Meteor which is really fun to fly. Things are a little slow at GAD as it is a one man band so to speak but please be patient as what I've heard about will whet a lot of appetites. Best regards Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
