John Privett Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Posted by ken anderson. on 14/09/2015 08:36:32: ...note the product placement etc... So Ken's modelling activities are now sponsored by Morrisons, with Heinz and Princes paying playing a minor role. Clearly the supplier of the two tins on the left didn't cough-up enough dosh, and are left anonymous! Meanwhile my Pushycat, in its "2b" incarnation is now a veteran of 320 flights. (It's a bit like Dr. Who - gets "regenerated" every now and again - but some parts of the original do live on in the current model) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've still got the cockpit from mine. The pilot is still in it. He keeps looking at me and making me feel guilty. (Sob)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erfolg Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 My own keeps going, and I hope it continues to do so. Flown on three separate days over this week end. With a few minor incidences, the first I sheared my wing bolt clipping a row of hay, which was awaiting being baled. This took me about 5-10 minutes to fix. The second was on Sunday, when I launched and did not get to the sticks quick enough, the model making a high speed landing. After a check, it was launched again. All in all a pretty rugged model.

Formtex1947 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi Ken, Agree the finish and colour are great, but hope you have good eyesight as PC's can be tricky to see at a distance so fly close! My pair are still doing great one hell of an aircraft, however am building the Cutlass! Keep up the good work. Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 After the first few flights of the current incarnation of my pushycat, I put some fluorescent film on the wingtips. It certainly made it easier to see against the typical British (cloudy) sky, though the film has faded somewhat since then and now looks more like yellow!

Martyn K Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I want one of those for my Glass Slipper but I will skip the servo operation.. Love it. However, I have seen how much damage an Angry Bird does when it lands. Are you sure its such a good idea? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Impressive stuff ne....1 I detected rivets so thought i had better check up on you Looks great obviously the aerial wasn't shielded by the covering Another cheap solution for scoops are plastic spoons, well not the whole spoon just a section obviously Would need coating in foil in your case but worth remembering. Love the way you have put the large bulky servo in the moving bit, and the disk securely attached to the fixed cockpit, obvious really when you see it.
