Bas La Bois Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 What about a: Northrop X-56 Black Bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bas La Bois Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Didn't mean to end there; or a : SR71 Blackbird for EDF or a Heinkel P1078. They are all warbirds but would definitely make an interesting build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel McIntosh 2 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Some particularily nice British designs that are under done are: 1) Martin Baker MB5 2) Percival Provost 3) Jet Provost .40 to .60 sized is nice for transport and flying capability. The Hurricane was beautiful keep up the great work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Tee Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Single rotor auto gyro like the james bond one, benson/cricket, or the MB5 really nice looking aeroplane that never made it to production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Taylor Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi tony - these are unlikely to make it through the final sift, but keep in mind for future reference 1) Henschel HS P.87 - Canard-wing pusher with swept-back mainplane (never flew, looks amazing, google Luft46 for approximate three-view) 2) Pick any of Ray Malmstrom's designs and scale up for electric/IC - these include canards, floatplanes, rubber powered multis, all delightful - you'll need a plans catalogue from impington village college model aeroplane club - they have a website 3) Something based on Vincent Burnelli's lifting body designs - 4x podded elctric motors above the wing? twin EDF? twin IC?, google Burnelli BG177 or UB14. The lightning and foxbat were soooperb. How about a cold war nomber twinset - Bear/Valiant?, Bounder/Hustler? Best of luck AlistairT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braddock, VC Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I originally posted 1:3.5 midget mustang, fokker D8 and luscombe silvaire, please delete the luscombe and add a bleriot 1/4 scale, complete with wing warping. In this the year, the 100th since bleriot made his epic flight, it would be a fitting tribute to see such a model flying again. At first glance it looks asimple subject to model but in reality it is very complex. To put the icing on the cake I'd invite tony to bloobirds bleriot fun fly day on the actual anniversary of the flight 25th july 2009 to demonstrate it in the the fields adjacent to where the original landed. Fingers crossed for a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyblot Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Whirlwind (big enough for 2 x 40's) Mini-Imp (or Micro-Imp) - Homebuilt pusher by Molt Taylor, go on, google it! Learfan - I know, not easy but do-able with electrics these days! Cheers James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Phillips 2 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 With the ease of operation brought about by electric setups why not go for a big twin, like a " DH MOSQUITO" or a "WESTLAND WHIRLWIND" or a "GRUMMAN GOOSE" . Does anybody remember " Tales of the Golden Monkey". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Russell 1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 OK Barry, I'm with you for the # 1 position for the WHIRLWIND. #2 for a large MOSQUITO #3 for a CORSAIR Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Drew 1 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 is something a bit more modern an option? like the north american RA - 5C Vigilante, it would be simple to design and its a good looking airplane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Smith 3 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Westland WHIRLWIND. It looks sexy! Bit like a Hollywood harlot, glamourous but with a sting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry G Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I would like to suggest an Albatross for 70/91 f.s.
