Geoff Peacock Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Posted by Geoff Peacock on 11/03/2014 19:32:42: As good as finished - after only 5 years and 3 months, my DHC-2 Beaver. I build slowly and sporadically! It got 2nd prize at my club's 'Winter Build Comp' in March 2014, even though it took 5 winters. Built from a Traplet plan, it's 72" wingspan, with flaps and an Irvine .46 (OS-built) and dustbin silencer under the cowl. My build blog is now started - see it at **LINK** I said it wouldn't take 5 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 He has my total admiration. The Constellation isn't the easiest shape to reproduce at the best of times. To make something that looks so obviously right at that scale is mind blowing. It would take me years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monz Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 My latest, was part of a 24 hour build challenge. Beancraft Banana for free flight rubber power Bostonian class.

Andrew Price 2 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Fantastic bit of building Ken. Lovely shape. When (much) younger (1957ish) I used to cycle down from St. Albans to LHR to see these, among others - an blooming long way for a 12yo. The last one I saw was at Sanford, Fl and appeared abandoned by US Military!! Very sad. Do you think he will finish up chucking it off a cliff Monz? Ken has stolen the thunder from your build a banana Monz, as good as it looks!! Nice effort. Has it flown? What about the Bucc? Have I missed the vid of maiden? Do tell.

Monz Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Andrew, lol, the Banana is only just a few hours old! Still have to maiden the Bucc, half the world is waiting for the video! So you've not missed anything I could maiden the Banana down the Connie's fus? Monz... kt....5...... squeaking in the corner dept :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
