| STEVEN BOLIN mailed me these shots of his
large-scale Mustang which he has completed in the last couple of
weeks - it was mentioned in his post-box contribution in ModelFlight
#9. You can meet Steven on the personal profile page. |
 |
| It took Steven 1 year and 5 months to
build this magnificent model; it is built to a 1/5th scale, has an
84.5" wingspan and weighs 21 lbs. Powered by U.S. Engines 40, 3 h.p.
engine, flaps, retracts, steering and retractable tailwheel, full
cockpit.Non-r/c flyers who have seen
these pictures or the actual model on Steven's drive just can't believe what
they're seeing! Note the anchor man in the central picture - Steven's
got the engine running (I wonder what the neighbours think about that!). |
Here are a couple of shots
of BOB NICOL and his very smart Mustang, which he flies at
the High Peak Model Aero Club featured on the clubscene
page. The model is a Jamara ·60 size, but this one is powered by an OS
91Fx which, Bob says, makes for a real good power-to-weight ratio. |
 |
 On
the right, a Typhoon, scratch-built by Bob's mate DENNIS
RICHARDSON. No technical details, but this is a large model with
retracts and looking good. I do know, though, that this model won the
trophy for Best Model in the Club in 1999. |
 Here's
another picture from the High Peak modellers. We had a look at PAUL
CARR'S CAP 232 in ModelFlight #9 but Paul wanted us to
see his two main pleasures in life - planes and cars! |
 .
. . and finally from High Peak, KEITH POULTON'S impressive
1/4-scale Miles
Majestic, with Keith inset just to take a bow! Bob Nicol sent
me this picture and says the model is one to be seen close up to really
appreciate it, so click the little pic and see for yourself. |
  You can meet RICHARD STREET on the personal
profile page; here's his finished Kyosho Concept 32VR Heli,
OS32SX-H, Hatori tuned muffler and, just
for his Dad's benefit, a shot of his glider which Richard
occasionally helps him rig up at Portmoak Gliding Club. Dad is also a
keen model flyer, although Richard won't let him near his heli! |
Now let's enjoy a sight of your favourite aero model
- just use the e-mail facility at the top of any ModelFlight page or send
details and pictures by regular mail.
