David Ashby - Moderator Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Great stuff, thanks kc Ok, 28 takers so far, 2 boards handed out at Greenacres this weekend. = board delivered. Tony Bennett - Nats pickup Martian Bernie - Nats pickup David Tweddle Robin Kearney Mal Quelch Wolstonflyer Tinpot Pilot Nev Olly P Brian Jackson Graham C - Nats pickup Digital Flyer Daniel Hingston KC rActive Thunderstreak Simon Chaddock Gary Vinten BEB Chris Bott Tim Hooper Fats Flyer Rolebama Mark Stringer Mightypeesh Roy Mundy David Ashby Cookie Terry Lynock I think that's everyone, let me know if I've missed you. Can folks kindly drop me a PM if you can collect yours at the Nats from the RCM&E tent and I'll bring it along, thanks. Just touching on strength and the concern about brittleness. I've not tested a sheet to destruction but, whatever you make, it'll be sensible to re-inforce your flying surfaces, perhaps using balsa, hardwood strips or carbon.

kc Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Olly, this was in the Radio Control Fun Fly Special published by Argus which is undated but seems to be 1987So not actually in RCME and older than the online archive.It's just in the archives of us anoraks who have 26 year old magazines!

thunderstreak.keith Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 is there a competion arranged for this little project? I remember many years ago there used to be a comp. arranged by postal times in a magazine. the name of which one passes me by but i am going back to the 60s 70s era free flight ( chuck glider or cat launch i think) how about a 049 free flight limited engine run? just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Lynock Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Start with a blank board and sit there and look at it, sooner or later (usually by the third cup of tea) something starts to take shape, I have a nice 200w motor just looking for something to fit it to..............

thunderstreak.keith Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 best way i think david. just for fun is best, some people get a real cob on sometimes when they dont agee with the judges decision. remember the times when heated arguments used to get under way between flier and timekeeper? best not to return to those times anyway really looking forward to this as it will be my very own first design after nearly 40 yrs. of building and flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to save a bundle by delvering some at the Nats but, after this, I'll pack one up and see how much it'll cost to send, then go from there. Please let me know though if you'll be at the Nats. Edited By David Ashby - RCME on 05/08/2013 08:03:58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
