Andy Stephenson Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Posted by Sheepish on 27/03/2020 21:12:42: Hi Andy I’m not surprised it was a beast, the original had a Super Tigre x15 and a very natty paisley nylon finish judging by the RM cover it featured on. I should think the OS 32 had twice the power. Definitely bicycle clips time. Shaun I originally asked in my local model shop for an OS25FSR for it but the owner said you don't want one of those have an OS32 instead they are the latest thing. I took one look at the original on the front cover of RM and thought that style of fabric was a bit 1970s so I covered it in Glosstex instead. Over-weight over-powered, what could possible go wrong.

Hi Andy, that’s the cover! My eyes where did Sean find that nylon👍 I have also recently built again from my 1980’s plan the 2m Algebra. Another good looking and great build. I can remember this one being flown by Sean at Sandown demonstrating the original F3b type routines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Stephenson Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Martin, Do you have any clues as to which other classic aerobatic kits are coming from the Cloud. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I reckon we should be seeing the Giant Zlin 86”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I’ve run this on the Indoor Scale R/C models page on FB, but it’s come out quite well so I’ve put it here for anyone that’s interested. Bristol Scout “C” all Depron 29” span built from the Flying Scale Models plan originally featured in 2005 and given as a free plan in the December 2019 edition. Designed by Mike Roach. It weighs 180 gms all in with a 2S 320 mah Lipo. First check flights very good, takes off on 1/3 throttle, flies slowly and turns well on rudder. The unusual markings are correct, 1915 RNAS.

Colin Leighfield Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thanks John. Surprisingly quick and easy to build as well as being a pretty accurate scale model. Strictly for light breezes or indoors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Thank you Martin. To make it a bit more realistic I scaled a photo of a Le Rhône 9C, glued it to a 1/64” ply disc and glued that to the periphery of the 2208 outrunner so that it rotates with the prop, adds a touch of realism.

Colin Leighfield Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 No John. It’s an ordinary GWS 8x4.3 Slow Fly. It was an awful orange colour so I painted it brown, it doesn’t look too bad. I notice I said the motor was a 2208 by the way, it’s not, it’s a 2203. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Cunnington Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 An almost matching pair of Wot Trainers, both were crashed with nose & fuselage damage (one was mine, t'other was given to me to rebuild) I guess that at many clubs, there'll be a queue of maidens when we reopen (Oooh Matron) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
