Ryan Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi all I have just purchased a glass fibre fuselage for the above aircraft that was built from rcm&e plans rc1255. It is only the fuselage and nothing else but I have ordered the plans. I was just wondering if anyone has any pics of completed islanders or any information they can give me. Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I Googled Britten Norman Islander and yes there are a lot of pics. The Islander must be about the most successful financial disaster ever. They have made over 1000 (and still going) but 3 companies have gone into liquidation doing it! Yesterday I saw a BN Defender (two RR turboprops), just like an Islander but all the wrong noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I can't help with this but I think Ryan is asking if anyone on the forum has any information or experience of building a model Islander, not a 1:1 version! I know Google will throw up some models in the search but, given that Ryan seems to be a new member, I'm sure a show of helpfulness might be appreciated...... Fwiw, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 It was the model I was meaning and I know there is thousands of pics. Thanks pete for the above comment I am new to the forum. I have managed to find some pics and have started the build. So far I have made up the nose and main undercarriage legs all with a quick guess of spring rate and they are making it sit a little high the now but once the engines, tank and the rest of the electronics and cameras go in it should sit a bit better. If not I'll strip them and have to replace the springs. Edited By Ryan McNeil on 16/05/2009 21:08:31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Good luck with it, Ryan - looking forward to some pics! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
