Graham R Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You’re making good progress on the 109 Paul. It looks a lot less work than the 110. I am enjoying your build thread and I guess that you will the fountain of knowledge on the WR 109. What a responsibility 🤗 👏 I haven’t heard anything more about the other 109’s fledging their Essex nest. I guess that it won’t be long now. My 110 has ground to a halt as its awaiting a paint job. It’s A bit cold to spray outside at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson 4 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks Graham.You will like the build when you get it. Too true about the weather. I have the same issue with my 110. I got the base colour on but will have to wait for the camo coats.The 109 is going to be a cracking good model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARD WILLS Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hi Chaps , 109s will be leaving here on Monday if all goes as planned . I will want get the main boxes out as quickly as possible to avoid Christmas post issues . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I know all the chaps on the list of old , grand lads to the man . It might be worth pinging me a Pm saying roughly what you want . The prices are broadly similar to our Spit but I dont Think its fair to the Forum management to start quoting numbers. Equally if I put them on the website , I dont want some "Johnny come lately" , trying to steal a kit from one of my lads. Best for everyone to send a PM saying full name and address , plus phone , and roughly what you want so we can be at least in the ball park . We are thinking kit /retracts/ props /spinners/decals /pilots Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Johnson 4 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm not too sure but it sounds important..... you know the thing that is always missing from the box of bits... the one thing you need the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham R Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Perhaps it’s something to shout abuse at when when one makes a mistake during the build. (Not that you will need it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson 4 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Don't what ever you do shout abuses at a Richard... it'll make your oleo's swivel, spares disappear and glue go hard...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glynn Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Don't forget lad's if you have a specific insignia in mind for your model send me a picture and we will see what we can do. [email protected] Never shout at Richard, his two little helpers are still having therapy on Wednesday's from the last time he "Stared" at them. Remember he is a Wizard.

RICHARD WILLS Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 A "Richard " is available, but at great expense . It consists of a small plasticine man like Tony Harts "Morph". He stays in the box with the 109 and builds it from inside . A bit like a hanger . You feed him chocolate biscuits and try not to upset him . Ive only ever sent one out ,but the recipient couldn't keep pace with the biscuit demand and it turned very nasty . Apparently it was a bit like the scene when Marty Feldman use to take a large wicker basket to the vets , Which nobody would put their hand in . The only things that came out , were shredded R ( the larger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I made the big mistake of getting a Far East clone of a little R it really did not end well but they have rebuilt me now!🤪🤣 It did also have the charge socket and on/off switch in a very unusual place😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Why hey! Father Christmas (aka big R) just delivered my early Christmas present. Wifey was a bit bemused by it as I hadn't informed her about said delivery, her words "why did that man bring in a big box and leave without it? Is there something you need to tell me?" Oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I’ve opened the box for initial inspection! My building schedule is, LA-7 by mid Jan, Grumpy TC by end Feb, then it’s either the 109 or the 110. I want to get the Grumpy done before the 110 as I want to fly another twin first so it makes sense to build that next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHARD WILLS Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hi Chaps , the 109s are filtering through to people now , so the thread may liven up a bit . A few people have asked me about the sound system .In many ways, the 109 is ideal for it . There is not the usual tail heavy problem associated with Spitfires and that means we have more options with where to put it . On my one (shown a few pages back ) you can see the video of it flying past , The oil cooler radiator under the chin drops out like the base of a lift complete with the Mr RC sound unit and speaker . I think the whole thing weighs about 4-5 oz , which the 109 completely ignores . The current draw is tiny and it just piggy backs off the main motor wires . The start up and running sounds are actual Daimler Benz V12 . The unit itself only has two plugs . One is for power , the other for a Y lead from the ESC . Andrew at Mr RC sound is a very nice chap and very helpful . If you do contact him mention us and what we are doing . It wont do you any harm . I would suggest that you make the actual unit removable (velcro is fine) . That way you can have sound in you 109 one week and Spitfire the next !
