Ant1 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hey Timbo, not sure if you can do anything about it but the article is not displayed correctly, half the article is covered by the second picture the patrt that reads The model is a full ARTF and the quality of the review kit we've received at RCM&E is simply superb. Available in two sizes, the most popular will probably be the 70" span version we have here and designed for a 1.20 four-stroke (26cc petrol). The larger version will be for a 50-62cc petrol engine. The kits should arrive some time in June, prices have yet to be announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 I doubt that's anything to do with it Martyn.... anyway....

260 Flyer Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Timbo' s using FireFox. The page also displays correctly in ie7, but is screwed up in my ie6 and Opera browsers. I've taken off my nerd hat and I am now drooling over that Sparrowhawk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 VesPa actually... - I confess I had a lambretta brieflyYeh.... I use a proper browser...thats the answer guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i12fly Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Absolutely beautiful model, I'd love one....... hope it wont cost an arm and a leg.Don't like the registration used though , as G-AESZ belongs to Roy Nerou's absolutely superb DW1 Chilton (what a beauty). Must build a model one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Back guys and big thanks to Timbo for looking after things while I've been a way for a few days. Ok, I've had a play, sorry about the browser issue, this does seem to happen sometimes. I use Apple Safari at work and then get home and look at an article in IE6 and find it's all over the place! I do like the model it's a nice attempt to do something different in the ARTF genre. We'll see how she flies in due course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Fisher Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I agree that it is a good looking model but, for me it is impractical as the biggest engine I have is an ancient Merco 61 and the field where I fly isn't really suitable for anything with much more power,,, ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Eric Bray wrote (see)Yes, looks nice, and wouldn't take too much effort to convert it to a Mew Gull!I would think converting it to a Mew Gull would involve as much work as building a Mew Gull from scratch. The tail is totally different as is the rear part of the fuselage. Certainly a nice looking model though and refreshingly different from the usual ARTF fare. I wonder how much it'll be? btw mods wore parkas rather than parkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Adams Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Last time I built anything with that colouring and those rego. markings the prop shaft came out lower down and it was called a Chilton DW 1A. I built mine from an elderly Boddington plan (both, I guess, Boddo and plan) severely modded for electrics and lightness and with flaps as well and based on photos of the real one at Old Warden. Result is a delightful flyer. Since I dunno how to E-mail snaps to this site, I'll send it to RCME and hope it finds its way here. And full marks to the nice person providing Lightning bits. I'm building one to replace late lamented Hawes Hawk. (Mega 16 15 4 and went like stink.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter harvey 1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Lovely planes all, but back to Sparrowhawk, I,ve seen several threads on different forums concerning C of G, has anybody had any experience of this before I fly mine for the first time. GC as shown by Seagull seems a bit rearwards as I would havw expected 30-35% chord. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
