Tom Flynn 1 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 can anyone help me, I'm looking for the instructions from Radio Modeller September 1986 to build the Sky bird. Happy with an emailed copy or what ever. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_B Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'm sorry I can't help you Tom, but it was one of the most fun to fly 3 channel sport models I built back in the day (I think I built mine in '88). It went really nice with an O.S 10 FSR up front and was guided by Sanwa radio as I remember. Good luck if you build one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have the mag with the article - send me a PM with your e-mail address and i will e-mail a scanned copy to you in a few days. There is also a Skybird 40 53 inch span for a .40 in Aviation Modeller Int March 1996 which is the later enlarged version by Ian Peacock & Gordon Mellish. I will scan that too if you need it.

kc Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I notice that there is another design called Skybird with an RM 198 number on the old MyHobbyStores now Traplet site That one is by Brian Barfoot and is a slope soarer! However the free plan from Sept 1986 RM is a 3 function power model by Ian Peacock & Gordon Mellish and is presumably what Tom wants to build. No plan number is shown in the magazine. The AMI Skybird 40 is a larger version by Ian Peacock / Gordon Mellish and of course .40 powered 4 function ( inc rudder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
