Bucksboy Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I’ll ask then, how many orders do you need to produce a kit? One that doesn’t leave you out of pocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I dont really think there will be enough interest in the Heinkel to justify doing the manual and drawing , Shame , but there it is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyg1 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Very nice Richard, would be interested in a set of retracts As they would probably fit in my 60" twin. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucksboy Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm afraid to say I agree with you. Thanks for replying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin collins 1 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I`d buy the Heinkel kit, been after one for a while but not keen on the ARTF offering that is around at the moment.........Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Graham , the retracts are twin oleo style for each wheel , (like a lancaster ) therefor probably quite bulky for most twins . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thought I would reopen this thread. Any news about all the other replicas 110 that were being build. Mine is almost ready for a maiden before finishing off other scale details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson 4 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Thanks Paul. Have you flown yours?. Not sure whether you can see the panelling details. I did what you suggested on the 109 thread - using white hi lighter and yellowing the panel edges.Really pleased with the result. I will get some better pictures on here.

Paul Johnson 4 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hi Graham, Yes I did notice, easier than you think once you have a go eh! No I haven't flown her yet. Work has got in the way. I am hoping to rectify that very soon. I will add when she flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwain Dibley. Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Mines for sale if anyone is interested out there.......................... D.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I've got one of these kits gathering dust in the loft and concluded that I will probably never build this kit - If any one is interested in the 110 kit and wants one please PM me.

gillyg1 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 well after "along time" finally got around to resuming the 110 build, here we managed to join the wings together tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi Graham, nice to see that you have restarted the build.I still haven’t got round to maiden mine yet. Hopefully this will happen in the spring. Last summer we popped into the steam & country fair at Stithians showground. As well as steam there was a good modelling presence. Is your club involved with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyg1 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi Graham, yes that's the RC Cornwall Flyers club, I'm a member of the Redruth and District Model Flying Club, Although some of the guy's are members of both clubs. Both good clubs, very helpful, Having said that "Cornwall Flyers are electric only due to there flying site. Where as RDMFC has an excellent site at the North Cliffs, Hayle to Portreath coast road.

Graham R Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi Graham, I'm down at Porthtowen again in the summer hols. Must try and pop in if that's allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyg1 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Well got the retracts in their mountings, now to decide on position of mounts within the nacelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 And so it begins, 2 years + after I bought the kit I've dusted the box off and I'm ready to go. It won't get off to a flying start as I'm working all week, but I will get chance to fiddle around in the evenings but the pressure is on as the new P51 is coming soon so I have to get this finished first. Not settled on a scheme,e for it yet but it will be a 'G' and it will be IC powered (2 x ASP 52s (I think - will have to check the boxes!!!))

Paul Johnson 4 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hi Ron, Nice to see you have made a start, enjoy the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Really looking forward to this Paul and will reference back to yours, Dwain's and Graham's builds for when I get stuck! I must say that the quality of laser cutting is excellent, haven't looked at the veneered foam bits yet as saving that delight for later. Hoping to start putting the tail together tomorrow (I'm out flying tonight) but have decided on a tail mounted servo for the rudders rather than the bell crank. Not too sure about posting lots of build photos as you guys have already done that really well, maybe just for where I depart from the 'norm', plus as mine will be IC maybe some bits about that, we'll see. Have also toyed with the idea of vids of build bits rather than just still shots, again, its all up in the air (!!!) at the moment. I plan to photo it all anyway as it will be put on my club's website irrespective of what I do here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Ron, enjoy the build. It will be interesting to see how you build the tail with the servo at the back. It's a bit tight down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson 4 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 As Graham says... there's not much room at the Inn back there. Also that's a looonnng tail! A 10g servo = 1/2lb fat pilot up front.

Ron Gray Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Bellcrank, pivot bolt, nut and pushrod from servo = 13g, I have mini servos ranging from 5g to 13g including a rather nice Bluebird one (I use these in my DLG and F5J gliders) at 7.5g, so I think I should be OK????

Ron Gray Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 So a slow start to the build due to pressures of work but I did manage to snatch some time and progress has been made. As promised won't upload loads of build photos as they have already been done by others but will do so where I've built mine differently. I mentioned above that I would be using a rear mounted servo for the rudders and this is what the installation looks like' Firstly the cut out in the balsa sheeting so that I can have an access panel to get at the servo. This replaces the ply bell crank mounting plate. Now the servo installed in the ply crutch the height of which is conveniently just right for the servo arm to align with the rudder push rods (I've also replaced the supplied ones with smaller gauge ones). A rough hole was cut in the tailplane underside sheeting and I've used a collet in the servo arm to connect the pushrods and to give adjustment for alignment (like Paul used on his). I've soldered the metal quick links (M2) to the other ends of the pushrods as they don't need to be adjustable. All tested and working OK! The servo is a Blue Bird BMS-A10H WV Servo (3.2Kg.cm 0.07s 7.4g) which is only 8mm thick and has an alloy casing. They are really nice servos, I use them in my F3K and F5J gliders and they come from Hyperflight I've got to fit the control linkages for the elevators and for that I need to silver solder a horn onto the U wire joiner and run a lightweight snake through to a servo mounted 'up front'. The control horn and snake will have to be to one side to avoid the rudder servo. Work completed so far, tailplane and elevators, fins and rudders, fuse sides and crutch, engines nacelles including sanding to profile. So I feel like a decent start has been made and with no work for the next week I? should hopefully get a lot more done (although I will be out flying on 2 days!).
