Aaah - pic problems sorted out !
Nice to see 'em NLC.

My Skyraider came out of model hospital a couple of days ago, with a fresh new cowling.
here is a couple of pics ....

I'll try to get a vid clip next weekend.

Ok, let's go for my very last one (yep, not a glider...

):

The Model is a Bohemia B5.

Own Plan, full depron.

Fred

coolwings · 06-01-2006 8:57pm

Fred that's a beautiful model.
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.

muckwarrior · 07-01-2006 12:24am

Ok, lights are on and photo's have been uploaded. Click on the link and you'll see them. Theres 2 more pics on page two so check them out too. The skirt lights aren't fit yet but i'll post as soon as they're on. No.s 93 up are the new ones. Pic no. 109 is the new PROTECH exhaust and micro failsafe. And alas, the JATO has had it's first defeat. Pic no. 115 is the rear suspension arm that I smashed in half today. Not too worry though, Aluminium replacements are on the way.
Hope u enjoy

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......:)

coolwings · 11-01-2006 5:23pm

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

nice plane

syl77 · 11-01-2006 6:06pm

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

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...

tallus · 11-01-2006 10:19pm

I love that engine
looks so cool

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

Fred

coolwings · 12-01-2006 10:19am

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 .

syl77 · 12-01-2006 12:47pm

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.....:D

g5hn710m4xpdwy · 13-01-2006 8:39pm

coolwings · 13-01-2006 11:40pm

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!

Fobia · 14-01-2006 1:05am

I've been meaning to clean up this thread...

Off-topic stuff deleted, I'm moving the recent sale bid stuff to a new thread.

I'll delete off-topic stuff from this thread from now on, don't want to discourage posting or anything - just hit the new thread button, that's what it's there for!

g5hn710m4xpdwy · 14-01-2006 1:43pm

kk sorry for asking for all the help in the wrong thread

325sport · 15-01-2006 2:10am

ViperGTS · 19-01-2006 7:19pm

Never even thought of posting the pics of my new suspension arms. These things are never gonna break. They're so light and unbelieveably strong.

nice arms and nice buggy

coolwings · 19-01-2006 7:54pm

Very nice, are they duralumin? They certainly look the business and should be a lot stronger.

ViperGTS · 19-01-2006 11:16pm

Just extra thick cast aluminium. Seeing the platic ones broke twice in the same spot after slight knocks, they were a necessity

Look great.
One word of advise though..

Dont get overly ambitious with them thinking that "Yeah... Nothing can happen"

As they are "Possibly?" still connected to Plastic parts of tha buggy.:o
If you get me meaning.

ViperGTS · 19-01-2006 11:31pm

Oh I know,
I've not yet start believing that they're gonna withstand a proper thrashing. I can just be a bit more at ease now, lol

vectra · 19-01-2006 11:54pm

Definitely will take more punishment than the normal ones. My son has the alloy wishbones etc. on his T-Maxx and they hold up well.

tallus · 21-01-2006 8:29pm

My hpi rush evo this afternoon on it's first bash. Ended up breaking one of the sealed suspension springs, otherwise she ran fine. Pretty fast beast but in traction now until I get me a new spring.

g5hn710m4xpdwy · 21-01-2006 8:37pm

nice pic but that front weel looks a bit dodge there:D

tallus · 21-01-2006 8:39pm

it's ok really, just looks that way and was in a sharp turn/doughnut

Thanks, the body has seen better days tho the other side is actually held togeather with a cable tie

Brian

tallus · 21-01-2006 9:03pm

yeah that's nice ;-)

vectra · 21-01-2006 9:10pm

Is that a hopped up exhaust or something ? Looks different than my sons one.
Maybe it is an older model T-maxx ?

I took my Revo out today and my son took out his T-Maxx.. He tried to outdrag me down the street to the Field we go to... WHACK...!!! He stuck it under a wheel of a car and stripped the Spur gear..:eek:

Teach him a lesson...:D
Anybody got a spare 72tooth they would like to send me until the replacement comes from the UK ?

tallus · 21-01-2006 9:16pm

*shudder* Those revo's are nice, love the rear exhaust.

coolwings · 22-01-2006 8:14pm
