Flair
Swallow in it's new colour scheme. Ecellant entry level aerobatics
plane. |
 |
Dave
Smith Models "Panther". Nice little fun-fly type
model. Wings are bright pink top and black underside. Sure
makes it stand out in the sky. Started by Hatzov and finished
by Jim McGlynn & myself. |
 |
Soprano.
Not mine but worthy of mention. Nice wide undercart makes
for a nice stable take off and landing. |
 |
Dave
Smith Models Excelsior 163. 64 inch wingspan, 74 inches long.
Powered by an MVVS 91. Awesome model now gone to that great
model flying site in the sky following an outside loop which
turned into a vertical landing. |
 |
Glen's
Models 68inch CAP232 powered by a Thunder Tiger 91 four-stroke).
Great model - I wish I had bought it earlier. I would go
for a 120 four stroke if I was building another but the
TT91 is more than good enough for general flying around.
(Now
powered by a Laser 150)

My Balsa Cabin Rhapsody. 100 inch wingspan electric glider.
Flies on 7 cells. Groupner 500BB Race with 2.8:1 gearbox.
Tarling 40A speed controller. |
 |
Airtronics
Perigrine thermal / slope soarer. Wingspan 117 inches, length
56 inches. This model won the Scottish Nationals in the hands
of Ron Russell. Unfortunately I had to sell it to raise money
for the CAP232. |
|
|
My Cheetah
done in the colour scheme of a T45 Goshawk of the US navy
where it is used for carrier landing training. See here
for a review of the kit.
Now
gone to that great model flying site in the sky following
a mechanical failure whilst on a routine training flight.

Me and
my Bucker Jungman before its retirement. The fuel soaked
wood was becoming to high a risk so best not to push ones
luck. Irvine 46.
|
 |
My son's
Travelair. 60" wingspan / Irvine 46. I'm not sure about
this model yet - still needs properly trimmed.
|
|
|
My son's
first model, the Ripmax Nova. Flew great on a 46. Big &
stable, just like a trainer should be.
|
 |
My
son's second model, the Twin Jet. |
 |
My
first model, the Flair Fledgling. This shows the slope soaring
wings ... |
 |
...
and this has the thermal wings fitted. Many thanks to Martin
Gibbs for teaching me to fly it. |
 |
My first
power model, the good old Mascot. Sold while still in one
piece :)
