Lovely work in depron. How did you curve the depron sheets ... heat iron or heat gun?
We could do with a separate thread about that, if you're willing.

Thanks Norman !

More pictures (building, tips and so on...) can be found on a French Magazine Web site (Yep, sorry, in French, but the pictures are enough) :

And, for the new year, the Free plan can be found at the end of the article...
Youhouuu !

Nice Bohemia model Fred. Were you able to get depron at LHS.

Coolwings, you should try put a collective pitch prop (like what they use on shockflyers (to fly backwards) or helis) in order to produce reverse thrust..brakes..

Attached are pics of the Funtana 90 im slowly building......

How do you get your Funtana to fly with no servos inside?

nice plane

Like I said...Im "slowly" building it....It will be a costly plane.. (reackon it will have cost me just over a grand when totaly finished).....waiting on digital servos to arrive...

Thanks Syl77.

I've bring back depron with me from France...
at least 100 m2 of 6mm left

But no more 3mm

I'll stock next July again

If you need depron (for indoor planes or slowfly), Green Hobby in Dublin sell depron in 3mm and 5mm, and get other thicknesses when requested.
I have to say that at the 6mm depron size (.15 engine/speed 600 size planes) I think I would prefer to use balsa instead in my own models, but maybe I'm old fashioned and fooling myself that depron is just for small models.
I was surprised to learn that some modellers in Ireland are using depron for making hulls for model boats. But when you think about it, depron is also quite suitable for sheeting hulls .

The engine is a saito 150, having trouble fitting it as it is a little to large and I want to fit it inverted. When finished it will turn a 17x6 or 17x8 prop. Also would like to add a pipe or pitts muffler to it.....

Don't want the thread to get in a rut.

So here is one that's different....

This guy asked me to get him a Currach. But there isn't a kit available.
So I drew the plan from photos, and now there is a kit!
