PeterF Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I have a Gloster Gladiator from a club member who has passed away and I would like to identify the kit if anybody recognises it. I have tried searching on Google but have not unearthed anything. Some pertinent details are Wingspan 167cm = 66in which puts it at about 1:6 scale Power 2 stroke 90 Wings built as 2 full span wings Fuselage Fully moulded fuselage, rear section has balsa stringers glued to the outside of the fibreglass with fabric type covering over. U/C Heavy duty piano wire soldered construction A couple of other details are the wing retaining bolts have nylon bolts which sit inside machined inserts which sit in cups in the wings. It needs some TLC, especially new cabane struts but it appears to be structurally sound. Does anyone have any idea about the manufacturer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ovenden Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) It looks like the Phil Ramsey kit to my eyes. But I never had one so I may well be wrong! Edited July 24, 2022 by David Ovenden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu knowles Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Definately a Phil Ramsey Gladiator although with a few non kit specified mods, like to stringers on the o/s of the fus. Flew mine with a Zenoah 20 and no ballast. Rigging / de rigging is a pain unless you have a car that takes it one piece 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
