The Solarfilm is on, and the dummy engine given a bit of detailing! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG 6969 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Splendid modelling once more, Tim. It will look absolutely great on display with the folded wings. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 That was an inspired choice Tim, as you said, why hasn't it been done before? As expected, you've done a beautiful job of it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis Watkins Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Exceptional stuff Tim Give this machine a nice smooth progressive throttle roll out, with tail lifted for yards, letting the wing do all the work, leaving the ground behind, wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 It's the quality of Tim's photos that make you want to get building one yourself! Every detail is visible and therefore seems simpler to build than it really is! Hopefully Tim will take it to Old Warden Scale Day in July. Can we expect this to be an RCME plan when it has been flown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hooper Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Posted by Philflyer on 23/05/2017 09:25:26: Tim, fabulous. Have the owners of the original seen it? Yup, they've seen the static shots and have offered me a chance of a photo shoot with both the model and the real aeroplane! Martyn, I'll try and grab a pic or two next time I'm in the attic. Really it's just a white paper backdrop, and two second-hand studio flashes, both firing backwards into reflective umbrellas. I've set it up so that at ISO400 I'm able to shoot at an aperture of f20 to give lots of depth of field. Anyway, this evening was ideal flying weather, so we thought we'd grab the chance while we had it! Just a single flight of low, lazy circuits for the camera. Very smooth. Rudder is very positive, whilst the ailerons are extremely gentle, which is nice. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Foxtrot Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 You have made a lovely job of this one Tim. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Richardson Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Ooh that looks so pretty in the air Tim, love to build it but I'm two plans of yours behind already so this one ( if plan becomes a available) will have to wait, still working on the Hild enlarged plan.
