Mick Simms Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The big project for the next few years is the Fairchild A10, it has took 2 years up to now just to decide what plane it would be and what size. Falcon aviation are just the people for the job, sorting the enlargement and cutting of the wood. The new workshop will shortly be built to accommodate the 1/4 scale A10 build and i will be doing a blog on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eifion Herbert Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Renovate a 20ish yr old Galaxy models Sorceror that had been sitting in a shed since the 90s. Airframe seems sound, she'll need new radio gear of course, and checking the same engine out. Finding something to put an unused Magnum GP 40 engine into. Possibly my first low winger, though I am tempted by an ugly stick, or will that fly too similarly to my Wot 4 to be worth it. So that's my two aims this year, first low winger and first IC model.

cymaz Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Complete the Precedent Stampe as soon as I get some wings back from Falcon Aviation. Richard will do a good job so while I'm waiting I will go and fly and not get impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jones 7 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I am just finishing my first trad build, a mini panic and already I have loads of stuff I would do different so for this year: 1. Finish mini panic 2. Mass build Tucano 3. Scale body on my TRex 600 and convert my crawler to a towing rig with trailer for it Len Mount stylee but clearly cheaper and not so good! 4. Full size Panicwith night lights to replace the mini which is being left at the RC Hotel in July. i reckon thats probably enough to fit in between all the inevitable crash repairs!

LMA Dave Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 My last build was three years ago, I just can't seem to get back into it, I am planning to repair and recover my 1/4 scale Cub after it fell out of the sky due to an engine cut and it being to low and no air speed, that was over twelve months ago, so I really need to get motivated and hopefully it will get me back into what I love about this hobby, here is a picture of my last build the Sky 120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eifion Herbert Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Got a couple definiate already on the go; Jemima and refurbishing a Galaxy Sorcerer. Really would like a DH-89 one day, and really tempted by the Dumas kit, but 4 wings seem like a lot of work, and haven't got my brain round the electrics for a twin, and I've heard that it's a bit tip-stally and not that nice to fly so maybe not. But I really want a DH-89! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J V R Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 The big ship is finished, its got a new SC32 which needed a lot of fiddling to get it to run right, the bottom end needle was much to rich & I have fitted a hot plug to make the bottom end run smoother as it only needs around 1/4 throttle to fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Simms Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 HI new workshop about a month away and the frame work for the A10 should be with me 6 to 8 weeks,we finalised the size to 1/4 scale this will give it a wingspan of 14+ft= 172.5" .The build is no problem the mouldings will take a bit of time they have to be spot on eventually these items will be available from falcon aviation to any one mad enough to build some thing this size. Will be back later with some photos, have now joined the large model association and will be sorting out getting it registerd .

the unmagnificent man Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 LMA Dave. Pity you don't live anywhere near me as I would fix it for you (France). I hate to see a broken model. If I crash mine I have to repair it the same day, or at least remove the broken stuff and make a start. My tip would be, (if you don't mind) get all your glues,tools and materials ready. then just give yourself a goal each day. i.e today I am going to fit the pushrods and control horns on my Mustang. Its amazing how once you do actually start it just draws you back in and your hooked again. So whats in the pipeline for 2013 buildwise. well Just a few bits to do on my VQ Mustang and then a VQ Zero is sitting on the shelf waiting to get started. After that, well lets see......

Tangental Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Lots of interesting building projects on the go with everyone, it would be great to see them as build blogs. Aargh! (at the 'other' magazines Miles Magister free plan) More balsa bashing added to the list. But, I JUST HAVE TO! There, I've said it. I'm not happy about it but that's just how it is, so wear it! It might just fit! Tange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
