Tony Bennett Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 well as i am waiting for some 1.5mm balsa to finish the wing, i thought i would slop a bit of paint round. and i do mean slop. still it does now look vaguely like a defiant, from a distance, with the sun in your eyes.

Colin Leighfield Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 "Cartoon" it may be Tony, but there's no mistaking it's a Defiant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Bennett Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 well the elevator is hinged. the rudder is fitted with metal hinges ala FF for trimming purposes. finished sheeting the underside of the wing, covered the top and slopped some paint around again. waiting for the motor,esc and servo's to turn up and i can finish it off.

kevin b Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If I didn't know better, I would say that Tony is being sponsored by a Chinese factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 That looks suitably agressive Tony. It frightened me so much that I just fell off the chair. God help the Heinkels. I reckon it was worth the effort, you'll have some fun with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reg shaw Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The design of this Defiant reminds me of a traditional control line stunter. Captured the lines nicely in a very practical model. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks gents. lets just hope it flies ok and if it do, i can start the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 finished. need to see if it flies next. then i can find 10 people who fancy a kit and i can raise enough funds to start another model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
