THIS is the page for aero-model pictures - your own, or others you've seen at the club or at a show; they are all welcome if they're nice to look at! 

If you're not into digital photography or scanning pictures, why not send some photos by regular mail?  It's not too pricey; a batch of five or six photos costs $1.00 airmail postage from the USA, for example. My address is on the home page.

tigermoth1kevinroutledge.jpg (30149 bytes) Kevin Routledge's magnificent Tiger Moth

This beautiful model is the DH82a Tiger Moth built by Kevin from a Duncan Hutson Mk 2 kit costing £399. It is powered by a Laser 150 engine and there is a good review of the model by Kevin in the Reviews section of rcportal.co.uk website that is featured on site seeing. There's no mention of the scale of this model, though - I'm guessing it's around 1:5 or maybe even bigger?

Two from Test Valley Model Flying Club, UK

Colin Grace turned up at the field on 15th December with this really rather lovely P51-D Mustang. It's an ARTF from World Models, enhanced with an OS 70 4-stroke, servo-driven retracts and a nice-looking 3-bladed prop. Colin says the quality of the kit is excellent - it certainly looks good both on the ground and in the air.

Here's Chris Haines' Staudacher S-300 GS which has been appearing on work in progress but is now ready for its test flight at the Test Valley MFC field. The model is fitted with an SC ·91 4-stroke engine and looks and sounds a powerful beast!

 

This is Tony Baker's new 1/3rd scale Discus glider. Tony flies with Southampton Soaring Society and it is models of this nature that are the subject of the 'Soaring costs' item on air space.

These four interesting models belong to members of Burlington Radio Control Modellers, Canada and come from the Gallery page of the club website.

Top left - Enjoy the intricate detail on this scale model of a Beech Debonaire. This is one of two identical models scratch built by Karl Gross (owner of Skycraft Hobbies in Burlington).

Top right - I could find no credits for this lovely picture of a model float plane on the shore of Lake Ontario.

Bottom left - A nice little CO2 powered model (our first-ever on ModelFlight), built by Norm Harris. The model has a 28" wingspan and is suitable for round-the-pole or can be set up to be a free-flighter.

Bottom right - Wayne Bransfield's stunning 4-engined Sunderland, weighing in at 55 lbs!
