David Ashby - Moderator Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 My first winter project has just left the bench in the form of this Sig 20" span Mr Mulligan, rubber power. Yes, I did struggle with the cylinder blisters so they're for 'another day'........ 😉 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Control line is not an area that I've dipped into since my teen years, but those look great and I particularly like that decorating the shed walls with kit boxes - super nostalgic.

Peter Miller Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I remember quite a few of them from my early days back in 54. An awful lot of balsa has passed over my bench since then!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manish Chandrayan Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 That Champ evokes memories. Aurora Models of Calcutta used to kit a model that was a lookalike to the Champ. These were call SkyBee senior and junior. The Skybee junior with Aurora K 150 diesel was my first ever powered model🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jenkins Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I still have a KK Phantom with a PAW 149. Built it to teach my two sons to fly C/L in the early 80s. Sadly, it didn't have the pull to get tem involved. One of these days I might try and get it back into the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Very nice. It looks like you're about to try flying it RTP style. Or maybe Round The Compost Bin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Davies 3 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Fat Fighter Me109, loosley based on a plan from 't'internet.. 35" span, 3S1500 power and ready to fly weight around 24Oz.. Flew today without any issues at all. Fun, isn't it? Graham 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC57 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Recently finished 70mm FMS EDF powered Jetwing from Planeprint in Austria. The whole thing is 3D printed, including the wheels and tyres (although obviously not the fan, radio parts etc.!). Main fus and wings from light weight PLA, most fixtures from PLA+, and tyres and protective fan grills from black TPU. Not flown yet. I’ll probably keep it until our field is a bit drier in the spring, when it should ROG if the grass is short enough.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I'm definately going through a stick 'n' tissue phase. Just finished this Peck One-Nite-28, 28" rubber sportster from the plan. Built one as a teenager but never finished it, so figured it was about time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Just test flew my latest Dick Shumacher Little Ship today. This is converted to brushless motor power. It performs perfectly as they all do..May be a future plan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
