Tony Bennett Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 thought i best do a little bit while i wait for the parts needed for the tail. a friend (i do have some) sent me a retract servo, so i had a play with the bomb door. it works, but needs a bit of fettling to get it just right. http://s5.photobucket.com/user/MUDDYJLX/media/shacklton/DSCF0628_zpsf058494e.mp4.html Edited By Chris Bott - Moderator on 20/05/2014 22:37:13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Carey Maddog Designs UK Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Looking good sir, Tony when those big barn doors open will we see one big bomb drop or lots of little ones? Richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 hopefully some depth charges in sequence. still need to refine the door fit and then hide the servo under some ordinance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton van Munsteren Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Can't wait to see this plane finished, must be great seeing the Shackleton in a low pass. Well done sir. Cheers Ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Reynolds LaserCraft Services Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Who would have thought that 3 months ago a chance mention of the Shackleton would have turned into something this stunning? The internals may be my doing, but your building skills have transformed her into something of sheer beauty. All kits no matter how good need the skills, love and dedication of a craftsman to do them any justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I still think you should have done the MR3 and stuck a couple of Jetcats under the wings. (I'm only joking)! Looking good mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 well maybe a 1/4 scale with turbines in the lower outer nacelles might be in order then. would a 30ft wingspan shack be enough. he he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
