mark wardle 1 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hi!! from Australia, I am 49 years young and getting back in to flying for the 3rd time around. Alot has changed with foam and electric everywhere. I still really enjoy the tradional building process so was hoping to get hold of one of my favorite builds form the past. Could anyone be kind enough to guide me in the right direction to access what I believe to be a PB Cresent Bullet Plan as well as a Tornado which is generally a larger version. I need some garage time and enjoy again the build and fly experiance you only get from starting from scratch, Help greatly appreciated Mark W(New Member) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 The larger Bullet is the 'Calibre.' I've built both, but they come with an A4 plan. From memory, the Bullet is three times the size of the plan, and the Calibre is four times the size of the plan. Not sure that I still have the plan, but I will have a look.

FlyinFlynn Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 any help? https://www.probuild-uk.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=5130 or possibly http://www.gbrcaa.org/smf/index.php?topic=622.0 Edited By FlyinFlynn on 17/10/2020 11:49:08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 The kit for the bullet is here obviously in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Welcome to the forum Mark. The 50 inch kit is available in UK and I expect they would export it if you want. ( if the carriage is high ask them about the cost of shipping 2 as it might not be much more and you might sell the extra one on ) Most kit makers won't sell the plans as they want to sell kits. I don't think the Bullet plans had the foam wing sections on anyway. Note that the ARTF Bullet sold in recent years looked the same but was about 10 percent larger. The list of classic aerobatic model plans is here on the UK Classic Aerobatic site. Plenty of good designs to choose from but not the Bullet as it's a currently available kit.

kc Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I suppose if you want a Bullet then possibly nothing else will do. But a model with a similar sloping canopy and size is Syncat a pull out fullsize plan from RCME December 1994. Built up balsa wing too which is rare in aerobatic models. A couple of copies of that magazine with plan are on sale here. Edited By kc on 17/10/2020 14:05:24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 The Bullet is the 50 inch version for 40-46 motors The Tornado is the 61 inch for 55 to 61 motors The Caliber is the 65 inch for 70 to 91 motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Dance 1 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Reading kc's post I have a Syncat in the fleet, built a good few years ago. Flies well. The interesting feature is the wing construction. It's a built up and tapered wing. You only need one rib template because it uses the R H W Annenberg's 'equiangular' section. An interesting way of producing a tapered set of wing ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
