The "Jumper" lived up to it's name and jumped the fence. It was taxied out, went through a full MAC check with no problems but had no control the instant it left the ground and performed a beautiful slow roll to the left before nosing straight in..

The post mortem showed the cause to be a crystal failure as everything was dead until a new crystal was tried and everything worked perfectly there after. . Those still on 35 mhz be warned.

So back to the thanks, Biggles, I needed those crystals quicker than I thought..

Notright for the jumper fuz now well on its way to being a smokey and no longer a leccy.

Snoopy for the trainer and engine to get him back in the sky ASAP.

Thanks guys, he's delighted..

Arrived to find Mongo, The Accountant, Recycler and Icelander as well as a few heli pilots. Apparently I'd missed our heli digger driver maiden a 3D chipmonk Recycler had photos of the wreckage though

I did get to set up the SpaceWalker and had a rather enjoyable flight, I'd been checking up on t'net, turns out the full size is stressed to +5g and -3g. Enough to loop and roll I reckon Unrotunately it also has a roll rate of 45deg/sec 8 seconds to roll That didn't stop me trying to tip Alfie out of his seat I think the sick bag was full when he landed

Mongo was wringing the neck of his Wot4 until he managed to touch the runway with extreme prejudice - how low can you go?? Not that low

Accountant was also flying his Wot4 - first time in 2 years apparently, needless to say he was showing a little more respect for the ground.

Rain stopped play for a while, luckily Alfie has a blue badge parking permit and was allowed to shelter in the cabin. A break in the rain saw the receiver from Mongo's NotWot recycled into his new Wonder, complete with J'EN 36 and tuned pipe, I got the dubious pleasure of finding out if it would fly IT'S BALLISTIC I reckon The Plasterer now has the second fastest small plane in the club 100ft loops - check, 3 rolls/second - check, just need to trim it out now Handed control to Mongo just before the rain started again

Eventually we gave up waiting for FastAl who was "on his way" all afternoon and headed for home.

I'm not ready to switch back to IC, but I have to admit that the 91 four stroke really made the SpaceWalker, just a pity about all the extra luggage I need to carry.]]>

Ideally I'd like to remove all the covering, recover in solartex and repaint (probably with an electric conversion thrown in for good measure However, the scale season approachith and this could be ideal for the "too windy for an Aircamper" days

First up was to remove the film that Mongo's low flying tools had punctured:

I also notice the bottom covering was a bit flappy so that went too:


  2012-04-20 13.39.37.jpg (Size: 153.93 KB / Downloads: 5)

Despite Mongo dropping everything in his van onto the fuselage there was only one piece of damage to the framework, patched in a piece of stringer and it was ready for covering:


  2012-04-20 13.47.35.jpg (Size: 128.99 KB / Downloads: 5)

With this being an oil burner the covering was somewhat slimey some washing up liquid was used to clean uo the areas that had to accept the new film. Unfortunately my iron is currently sitting in Snoopy's shed so I had to resort to plan B:


  2012-04-20 14.48.29.jpg (Size: 128.05 KB / Downloads: 4)

Works just fine (a little tricky in tight corners though), set the heat just below 2 and it worked a treat. A little matt black enamel paint was brushed on to bring back the colour scheme:


  2012-04-20 16.27.56.jpg (Size: 116.86 KB / Downloads: 4)

Finally I fitted my receiver and got Alfie settled back into his office:


  2012-04-20 17.29.41.jpg (Size: 134.7 KB / Downloads: 6)

As well as his unfortunate facial scarring he also appears to suffer severe air sickness - every time he flew on his last outing he always had his head between his legs by the time he landed. A little velcro on his jacket and the seat should make sure he watches where he's flying in future

Chocks Away!]]>

Turns out a good piece of the work has already been undertaken but I decided to check over the progress so far before continuing the build.

The wings had been joined and the wing bandage applied, alignment and dihedral look good, but there was one small error:

The centre section of trailing edge really should have been fitted before the bandage Even better, there is enough trailing edge for ailerons, but not the centre. A root about in my balsa box turned up some TE that didn't need too much planing to match the rest The bandage was sanded off the back of the wing, TE added and piece of bandage wrapped over to make the bond strong enough for the wing bolts:

On to the fuselage, again, plenty of good work. The fuselage is straight and tidy. Unfortunately the bottom sheeting had been added without running the control rods. The top sheeting was off so I decided to run the controls before adding the tail surfaces (a little guesswork required). Before starting that I found another job needing redone though:

The rudder is to controlled by pull-pull cables, the servo mounted off centre shouldn't be a problem, but the cable looks like it could be fouled by the wing bolt Moving the servo to the centre will clear the bolts and make setup a little easier, I decided to lower the servo at the same time to keep it clear of the elevator control. A root about in the balsa box again, this time some 1/4" sheet and 1/16" ply came to the rescue:

After converting a Vmar Piper Tomahawk (thanks Pranger) to electric power while balancing it over a moped seat I decided I needed back into the cube. I've got a couple of photos of the conversion, I'll post them soon.

Anyway, after a strong start (Piling things back into the garage ) I came across the inevitable distraction - An "Ohh, I forgot about that" moment, This "forgot about" was a box of wood and drawings that I'd been gifted some time ago by another member (I think there's a pattern to this year's projects )

Well, I seem to recall that part of the deal when I received the kit was that I post the progress on the forum, but not mention the name of the kit or where it came from, so here's the mystery build:

No, ohh well. As per the instructions I started with the tail, the stab was built up over the plan. Kits are great - straight into the build after 20mins of organising die cut parts instead of 20 hrs of cutting out parts from sheet

I know you can't see much from the outside a good chunk of it is on the inside.

I'm having to fiberglass and redo the cowl, more pics to follow.]]> picked up a few more hints and tips which will not be forgotten, could have tried it myself, with my limited knowledge of the best way to go about it, it might not have been enough, but I'm learning more every day, (Thank You).

Here are a few pics showing a job well done, sanding down and covering and the rest I will do myself.

I did however visit the Angus Model Flying Club and was made most welcome. A couple of pilots did fly their jet models and put on an impressive display.
This is a comparatively new club with a good site. It is situated on an old airfield and the surface of the grass flying strip resembled a bowling green!
They are having two flyins this year, a scale flyin on 1st July and a general flyin on 18th and 19th August. Have a look at their website

Oh and the one that got away was just not right . But a wee flight report as no one seems to bother anymore. I arrived to find recycler,notright,stu, muppet, cookie monster, swanster,dougie gimp, mode1, Williek and muppets mate. Claude, mac and Stu's heli test pilot turned up later. Most of the guys had a good days flying. None for recycler or stu though well stu did have a wee shot on the buddy box of his new heli, I saw a small electric one flying as well but that couldnt have been him as he is currently involved in a sub comittee discussing the legalities of that . I managed to have a few starts of my hotspot turbine even a short taxi on the grass which was not quite what i was expecting . You cannae just throttle back on these things and expect them to stop instantly. I guess when it is time for the maiden flight it will be full throttle and full commitment There were some pics and videos taken so feel free to post them guys. Also feel free to embelish on the events of the day.]]> (you know who u are ). Oh and the one that got away was just not right . But a wee flight report as no one seems to bother anymore.
