Colin Leighfield Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 SW and Graham, do you want to meet up anywhere on Sunday? I am petrified at the though of going on Saturday and finding Martian wearing only a funny hat, corks and rivets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 As a default, what about 12.00 at the BMFA tent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I went today (Sat) but due to the inclement weather was unable to go dressed as planned apart from the hat so no one was offended by my visit at least not that I am aware of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 We’ll find out tomorrow Martian, if they are all talking about you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 It was great to meet up with Graham Donaldson and Silver Wolf at Cosford today! We had a good chin-wag and compared thoughts on the Fury projects. It looks as if we will all get there eventually. We also talked about Chipmunk issues, hoping that eventually we might get a finished result! Some mixed feelings about Dennis Bryant designs, from the experience so far! The weather was excellent today, yesterday apparently was poor with rain on and off during the day. I hope that Martian didn’t get pneumonia.

Graham Donaldson Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Yes, it was good to meet you and Silver Wolf (now have real name as well). I enjoyed the show and was glad that we changed from Saturday to Sunday. Some great models and more than competent pilots. I’v a lot to learn but fear it is to late! now off to DEVON for a couple of weeks before the return to Aberdeen. Might get to Woodsprings next weekend.

Martian Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Glad you guys enjoyed it no sign of pneumonia for me although it was not good yesterday I did enjoy myself my hat kept me dry 😎 pity I didn't get to meet you guys maybe next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Drive safely Graham, if you get Woodsprings in as well it’s a bonus! Pleased you didn’t have any adverse consequences from choosing the wrong day Martian! Now on with these Furies - - - - ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Wolf Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Enjoyed meeting up, nice to put faces to names, most enjoyable. I'm sure that it will help with keeping the projects moving, all be it very slowly. There will be at least three of us who will not be venturing near another D Bryant plan. However credit is due to Mr Bryant for designing what I hope will be a very good sport scale model. Especially given that these days we have CAD and the internet for searching details etc. Graham, its never too late, just remember small steps a few milestones and you will get there. Just enjoy every step. Have a safe trip and enjoy Devon. Regards SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given that these days we have CAD and the internet for searching details etc. Its a bit frustrating when a plan doesn't meet expectations, but remember that Dennis Bryant was a leading scale designer in the 70s and early 80s and I think his models are well proven. As you say, there is far more information available now for the scale designer but we really shouldn't decry his designs too much (especially publicly) - there simply wasn't the information available 50 years ago.. I am currently trying to get my Chippie finished but struggling with the canopy. (It's too short) and wondering how best to extend the front glazing by about 20mm. When that gets done, I'll be back on the Fury. Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi Danny and the lads, What a bummer, the Fury airframe is sulking on my building board, and I'm sulking in my armchair with 2 broken ribs and a broken arm (right one of course) So, As someone famous once said, I'll be back ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Not me at least not for scale purity to be fair they produce a nice plane which was a winner in its day . I decided early on not to worry over scale fidelity and if it looks right then that's ok Posted by Martyn K on 09/07/2019 09:37:33: Posted by Silver Wolf on 08/07/2019 18:13:16: There will be at least three of us who will not be venturing near another D Bryant plan.

Stuart Rusby Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi Danny. No doubt I'm being stupid but do we assume Dennis Bryant wants us to glue both the fin and tailplane to the fuselage? Seems a little unusual... Thanks, Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hi Stuart, yes that is the idea. Its a bit awkward to work out the sequence, as the sternpost, for the want of a better word has to be glued on after covering. Not entirely sure I have worked it out yet. Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klippy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 My apologies if this has already been mentioned, the full size had its fin set at an angle of 7degrees to counteract prop wash (if memory serves) are we intending to do the same?

Danny Fenton Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I should go with whatever Dennis has put on the plan. If the model is IC then prop wash behaves differently with a small fast prop. If you are using a large slow prop with electric, then the offset would be worth considering. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
