Andy Green Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 A few months ago, I saw an article where Pete re visited his Pup. Anyone remember where it is? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Green Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks Ian. Found it, in the downstairs loo, under a load of decorating mags (those aren't mine) A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P. Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hi All, I am very interested to read Peter Lowe's comments on the Pup. I have read a couple of the build articles but never found out what he thought of it. Can anyone confirm this is the correct issue, or if someone could email me a copy that would be great. Just a summary of what he wrote would suffice. I am interested to find out how much weight he had to add/ was he happy with the rigging system etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 George, I have found the November 2014 RCME and it does indeed have a few comments on the rigging of his DB Pup. Basically Pete Lowe wrote that he added an additional pair of flying wires after obtaining the parts from Eddie at DB. Of course back then Eddie Stocker ran DB now its under new ownership. The other comment was that it was " an excellent flying model" If you need a copy of the page then send me a PM with your e-mail address.

George P. Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hi kc, Many thanks for your time in finding the article and passing on the info. I have read useful warnings on this forum regarding the rigging system and read that several people have experienced failures and so I have now fitted extra flying wires. I have had a gripper stop working and had to replace it but this was before the model was covered. Having replaced all the grippers with the mk2 I finished the model and when recently assembling it in the garden I experienced another acting up. It grips at times and not others. I used oil as advised but this does not seem to have worked. My Pup is gaining in weight with these extras but I did read somewhere (I think it was on this forum) that Peter Lowe had to add 51/2 lbs in weight to balance it? I found a YouTube clip of it flying and it looks good but the speed was kept up, presumably as it was a maiden and the v engine was running in/ a bit rich? Anyway, thanks again kc.
