Pete Crosby Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi Just thought I'd post this old W.I.P TA 183 pss... done from my own drawings from 3 views form the net... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Crosby Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 just thought I'd say as not many replys.. its 40" span foam and balsa with brown paper, it has carbon fibre wing seating tubes and two micro metal gear servos in the wings. I used a standard servo inside the fuz for the elevator which is routed inside the tail section. I thought I'd use a TX mix to use the elevators along with elevons.. No rudder here. I got a liitle side tracked during the build as I moved house and are now in the middle of building a new 12x10 workshop(shed) for my hobby.. I mainly fly my SAS wildthing but I hope to fly this as well..fingers crossed. Edited By Pete B - Moderator on 27/06/2014 14:22:52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 A prototype not often modelled - interesting. Should be nice finished off. Post as you go along so that we can follow the progress. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 That's brilliant Pete, looking forward to seeing the finished job. For a plane that never actually got off the ground, it had an astonishing influence on post-war jet fighter design. All credit to Kurt Tank.

fly boy3 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi Tony, ashamed to say I have never seen a picture of this aircraft, and I am old. I think the plan form looks great ,and seems to be a good flier/ Looking forward to more pictures. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Pete, that's great. I'm following this with great interest. Although we always rightly associate the MIG15 with this design, the next plane actually designed by Kurt Tank and flown was the Pulqui II, while he lived in Argentina after the war and they had ambitions to create their own jet fighter. It didn't go into production, but it looked the part, clearly a cousin to your Ta183 and the MIG15. I've never seen the Pulqui II modelled, but it would certainly be interesting. Good luck with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
