TSR2

It`s me again
Starting a new project, a big laythe/mill .
Got the plans, sent them to SLEC, they did there magic.
This jet will have to be above 20kg therefore, a large model
I am getting 2 x p130 jetcats on saturday,
I have got 2 x receivers, 3 x batterys, Murcury power unit, brake system, hydraulic retract system and many more.

This has never been done at this scale before

Oh you beauty.
Mike good to see you back with another build young man
Sounds an epic build, can you get it in your shed ??
Looking forward to this one buddy

You forgot to Insert the pics Mr Bond, no worries, I've done it for you. Nice to see you back, looks like you've done quite a bit already.
Have you found a new Flying site and Pilot?

my favorite aeroplane a legend before its time

I am the worlds worst conspiracy theorist! Junked perhaps because the rest of the world couldn't come close so outside political pressure was brought to bear to junk it?

Like Nimrod, it was declared to be too good, so what did we get as a replacement?
A second-hand modified Boeing 707 with a flying saucer on the roof.

Changing world politics was a more likely reason.
If you think about at the time TSR2 was ready 1964+ was it ever going to be possible to 'Tactical Strike' the USSR or perform reconnaissance there either?
For 'limited conflict' uses outside the USSR it would have been horribly expensive to operate so with the USA offering to back a huge IMF loan to the UK in return for ordering the F111, TSR2 cancellation was inevitable.

The surprising bit, just like the Avro Arrow and Nimrod, is the speed at which governments try to obliterate the evidence in the hope it avoids blame for allowing it to go as far as it did.

Balsa is all 1/8 thick
All ply is 10mm birch

That's going to be one BIG aircraft! Can we have a competition to see who's workshop is the messiest? Just kidding but I'm pleased to see there's someone on this planet who's as bad as me!

Definitely another build to follow, looking forward to see it progressing !
If anyone tidied my workshop I would never be able to find anything ! :whistle:

Hi guys

As you can see, haven`t done much but the model is the largest iv`e done and it needs qualification after each stage

Hi Mr Bond. I would be interested to know what glue you are using ? I can't really see much from the photos.
It is quite large isn't it !

Hi Crazy
I use a mixture of glues
for not seen area i use gorilla glue
it`s waterproof, it expands by 4x
strong and takes 2 hours to set
super glue with kicker
for quick and easy gluing
very quick and little used
hysol
sets like rock
takes 12 hours to set
epoxy 50/50 (slec)
30 minutes - 5 mins to set
so the glue i use the most is gorilla glue but i do use some glues for different reasons and places

" Hi Crazy" ? It's Crash, but come to think of it that's a pretty accurate description !:woohoo:
