Chris Selvey-WIllars Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hi all. Just to introduce myself. Newbie to this forum, not so much to model aviation having been flying for 40 years this year. A 2 channel, Cox 049 powered Bowman's mini Skyman was my first plane. Can still get the plan online amazingly. Been through a heli phase and back to fixed wing. Mainly flying 3D style planes from 60" to 120". All electric. Not a member of a club but do have my own little strip. Hope to have a few good chats online with some of you. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lumsdon 2 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hi Chris & welcome i too started with a mini skyman and cox 049 a long time ago. Recently found a plan online and plan to build another for old times sake, perhaps with ailerons this time. Nice flying field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Thompson Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Hi and Welcome Chris How wonderful to have your own little strip, enjoyed the video and the lovely countryside views. I noted you started with the Mini Skyman, last year I added one to may fleet built from the online plan and my scrap box of wood. I added ailerons to wing and converted it to electric. She still needs rudder in the turns so I may go back and build the original wing. Gentle flying in the good weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
