Paul Marsh Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 3 new models from Weston Park, the first is another Wot 4, but gone mad and fitted a Saito 80 which I bought new from Teeside Swap meet a few weeks ago for £40. Engine is starting to run in now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Peacock Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Not my latest model, but it hasn't flown yet. Vic Smeed's Tumbletot was a free plan, for a Kalper 3.2cc engine. I belive it was Vic's last but one design. I scaled it UP for my Boddo Mills 0.5 R/C engine. Maiden is due shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hopkin Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Posted by Chris Walby on 25/06/2018 21:19:40: DH, Nice photo Could you post details of the model please Its from the "Flying Scale Models" plan by Paul Tupker 44" Semi-Scale Gloster Meteor IV 2 x 70mm EDF running on a 4S 5000mah Lipo Seems to be fully aerobatic (though I am nervous of the wing joiners between the inner and out wing panels where the fan ducts are!) Aileron, throttle and Elevator controls only I deviated from the plan in a couple of ways... 1) Elevator Servo is a thin wing servo embedded in the horizontal stabiliser 2) I had two or three goes at the wing - the plan says to build a centre section and two outer panels then join them with the Fan formers as dihedral braces - of course this means you cant set the wing up on a flat surface as the lower portion of the fan former hold it up in the air! In the end I gave up that idea and just built the wing in two halves (ignoring the fan formers) - set the wing up, then added the formers afterwards and cut away the portion of the wing structure afterwards Edited By Dave Hopkin on 25/06/2018 21:43:09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
