Flyer Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Guys, Been looking at this plan/kit from Belair at 1/10th scale. Not sure if anyone has PSS'd it yet. If not, I may give it a go to see. Or would I be best using a wing profile more suited to PSS? Advice glady received. Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Jones Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Ade, Phil and I have been thinking of a banana bomber for PSS for a while, any idea what the section is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Not at the moment Matt, but I'm willing to try it to see if it will work. If it dont fly well, then I guess it will need a different section. Someone has to try I suppose............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Jones Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The hard work and complexity is in the fus, if you don't like the section it should be straight forward to change for something like E374 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks for that Matt; I've just ordered the kit of parts. I've tried to email the designer, but no joy. I will look at the wing ribs once I've received the kit, and possibly review the profile, and change it at that stage. As you say, at least the most complicated bits will be done. Build blog to follow....... Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 As an aside, fancy doing the Operation Granby nose art designs. The only issue I can foresee with that is would some people find some of the art 'politically incorrect'?? Or do I just go with camo? Decisions, decisions.....

Flyer Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just had an email from Belair; the kit of parts is on it's way so I'd better clear the building board. As it's still not suitable to finish spraying the A4 outside, I will put the time to good use. I also think I've sussed out how to make the airbrakes work, without adding too much weight where I don't want it. I'll detail it once I've received the bits, but it seems quite simple, so may well work. It may not be exactly scale, but should appear 'scale-like' when airborne. I will try and keep a build blog if anyone's interested. Cheers Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 One large box delivered this morning to work. It's been saying 'open me, open me' all afternoon. But I have resisted so far..... Still have to clear the building board of the A4. Looking at the box, I know one or two PSS'ers would have considered fitting control surfaces on the box and flying it in Doris this morning ...
