i prefer building to flying if i am honest.:woohoo:

Now there s a thought!!. I am off to the Nats and am in the market for a couple of new models. Never thought about a bipe. Last one I had was the original Panic with an O/S 60 and a tuned pipe.

A Bipe, why didnt I think of that. Thanks Lads

vickers 163
had a confirmation email from brooklands museum today.
my drawings are on their way.
new build will be starting soon, once i have drawn up some plans.

i will need to decide on scale.
inch to a foot would give a wingspan of 90 inches. :cheer:
might be a bit big for my 2 seater sports car.

Get your priorities right. Buy a bigger car. Do not on any account compromise the model size!!!

Looks neat Les, don't you just hate it when they fold the plans? I've just ordered a Super 60 (with ailerons) and an Elf from Ben Buckle. Just love vintage models.:)

Do it now, you may never get another chance

What to build next??? Ummm - as usual I have 3 or 4 unfinished models - mostly waiting for parts and another 3 in various stages from nearly started to a few sticks to almost there. Now my doctor has banned me from going to the field for a while. So - like Tony I admit to preferring building to flying because the bloody things always end up at the other end of the runway and for me that's a long walk with crook legs. So - state of play:-

Shrike Aero Commander - long term project - half finished.
Powerhouse Old Timer - waiting for covering to arrive to finish
Kyosho Trainer - flyable
Piper J3 Cub - flyable
Red Ned - flyable
Harvard - flyable
Avro Lancaster - early stages of build
Mosquito PR XVI - just started
Float Plane - 60" WS - Almost finished
Pheonix own design Aerobatic - Errr - Ouch - long term repair
PBY Catalina - about a third of the way built
Fournier RF4D - half finished - making custom retract for main wheel - (OK Eric? I didn't say nose wheel!)

So with all these things on the go I'm sure all dedicated builders will agree - I need to start another project!:dry: My choice? - I've just pulled out the plans for a Nieuport Type 12, a DH2e and an Albatross DVa. All WW1 biplanes of around 1/5th scale and of course all needing a 60 -90 4 stroke - proper engines!!!. Yep I have all the engines. WHAT WOULD YOU BUILD FIRST??????
