Seriously though, I can't see why that would be a problem. I sent a little OS Pixie single channel set to someone in Japan by airmail at very reasonable cost - no more difficult than sending it to Tunbridge Wells, bar filling in a customs declaration. Some info here - and maybe more usefully, a possible link to Roger Pegg (from 2012 so fairly recent).

Jimbo565 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 John I found the wing build to be challenging, the flap / aileron linkage especially but got there in the end. If I ever come across the mag. I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I am sure Ian is wrong- it's not the January but the JUNE 1984 issue of RM that you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Kc, just to clarify, I didn't say that it was the Jan issue that was needed. I simply pointed to an available copy of the Jan mag as that is what John himself said he was looking for Posted by john borrill on 07/02/2015 13:12:15: ....... would like to get the mag with the article in Jan 1984 radio modeler ,............

kc Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Jan to Jun is only 1 letter difference! It's definitely in the June 84 Radio Modeller. I have the magazine, but there is some problem with my scanner at the moment, but in due course I will scan it if you haven't got a copy frome somebody else first.

john borrill Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi Guys Just fitting the wing to Fuz but it seems to be to high at rear not much info or photos ,is the T/e shaped to conform to the rear of Fuz just a little confusing ? everyting appears to the correct size , found some photos in the Chip Shop one shows a nice Texta line where the wing is carved to fit the shape of the Rear Fuz but plan a bit Vague in this area can not seem to find a good photo , of the center section in that area ?? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Does this help? This is obviously the Dennis Bryant Chipmunk so you will have to adjust yours accordingly, but does show the shape of the wing underside.

john borrill Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks Danny Good Photo , getting it sorted , moved my servo up to top of wing so I can get the slope better from rear F/Z to wing C/C , also lowered the wing in the F/Z about 1/4 in now looking reasonable , Thanks for your in put John Borrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 No problem only glad to help When I saw your picture I had a feeling the servo might foul, it altered where my servo was going too. Regarding the cowl and canopy, if your model is 1/6th scale then the Dennis Bryant or Airsail parts may fit? Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Healy Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 You may be interested in my own Chippie built from this plan when it first came out (was it that long ago, really?) It was not what I would call an easy build, challenging more like, but very satisfying. This was in the days when servos were not throw away items like today, so economies dictated a single aileron servo centrally mounted with Sullivan gold rods to bellcranks to the control surfaces - all Futaba S128's if I recall - the standard 4 cell ni-cad, and (luxury, here!) a brand new Laser 75 up front. I flew it for many years, regularly, broke the cowl frequently because of the bendy undercarriage, and other minor bits of hangar rash. It was epoxy-glass sheathed, with solartex flying surfaces, and in RAF trainer colours. I loved it. Many years on, I sold it to a fellow club member - a very experienced display pilot, who was looking for a scale 'hack' for everyday flying. He replace the virtually knackered laser with a 150, replaced the single aileron servo with outboard mounted S148's and bought a new cowl. That was about six or seven years ago, and he is still flying it as his favourite model, day in, day out - it has had probably had approaching a thousand flights in its near 30 year history, and is still much admired. John flies it beautifully - and it still has the wobbly undercarriage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
