The Mystery Aircraft (PSS)

loopingfred

Hello there,

The 24th of April is the Annual Cork Glide-in. The only Glider event in Ireland (yet... that may change... :rolleyes: )
So, I'll go to this event (like every year since I live in Ireland..) with my usual bunch of gliders, but this year, I've plan to build the biggest PSS in Ireland (as far as I know, that will be the biggest) in less than a month ! And a scale one please !

In Fact, this PSS will be a prototype for an electric or IC version, but the PSS will allow me to test the design with no cost. And if this model can fly as a PSS imagine with 2 brushless and lipos or 2 IC motors (for the dirty guys ! )

So now, it's your turn to play and found what is this PSS reproduce. There is a view for connoisseur who can find straight away the model.

The prize will be the printed plans of this model when finished for the first of you who find what it is.:)


For more photos of the building (but not too much... that will be too easy...:D ) go to my website (http://gliderireland.modelisme.com)

Enjoy !

OOoooopss !:o

Yes Tallus, you are right !

Ok, so, that was a B25. Bomber from the WWII.
Certainly the Biggest PSS in Ireland.
Wings are almost finished, and I'm doing another Elevetor / rudder set (lighter...:D )

We've plan with another modeler to do a display for theAnnual Cork Glide in... Duxford Like..;) B25+ Spitfire...
But the challenge is that the model must be finished for the 24th !...

Ok ok ok, I go back to work !
