PapaBear

yes its been a while, all good here thanks. Internet getting slightly better now so i can look in a bit more. whats young Bluebear up to lol other than weathered moustashes. Mel

Well at last here are some pics of the old moth under contruction, took ages to cut all 278 of the parts out. Could have purchased them lazer cut but decided to go the old fashioned route.

wow Mick superb job, fantastic detail.

Myself and Mrs Bear went there last year for five days, could have done with longer as there is so much to take in.The Empire State building is good at night for the lights, there is an aircraft museum on board the aircraft carrier Intrepid beside pier 84 which has a space shuttle on its deck as well as the SR71 Blackbird and Concorde parked on the dock beside it plus loads to see inside. The Rockefeller center is good for a high speed lift ride to the top and great views. The American Museum of Natural History is definately worth a view but you will need the best part of a day to see it all, as Friar said visit Grand Cental its mind blowing and the 911 museum is a must, a water taxi ride is good, not quite as mad as the yellow cab ride LOL There is so much to see and do there so its on the bucket list to go again but for longer, have a great time when you go i know we did.

Brilliant !!!! it was great when we saw two Lancs at East Kirkby back in 2011 but three thats just awesome

That makes the hairs on the back of the old neck stand on end, what an awesome sight thanks son .

Thankyou chaps

Pucker LOL.

Yeah caught it on the news tonight, will be interesting to see what condition they are in.

Fantastic job Mick, the detailing is superb as Blubear said not sure i would have the paitience for this.Looking forward to seeing the He 111.

Brilliant!

Nice one!

Nice one Mick, looking great The attention to detail in these models is brilliant, dont think i could work on them tho, once the Hatti Jaques set in there would be bits glued all over the place.

Really nice job,looking great

Remember this ? an amazing family story.

Brilliant !! gives you some idea just how much flex there is in the airframes.

while we are on the subject of crazy pilots here's one http://youtu.be/0vH2yKfDq5Q

Wow what an amazing display

Could not even see them, dont think i would like to be a marshall ! get that wrong and you could loose a few fingers

62CC engine I'm playing with RC Helicopters at the moment, RTF types, and am considering making a fixed wing model. Cost though don't they!! It all depends on how far you go with it, there is some good affordable stuff out there now.

Thats a lot of aircraft to be pulling uphill.

Wow Propnut thats big! what motor have you got up front ? Just looking at drawings again and it looks like there is a rear mounting rod that slides into rear spar the same as the front, this means the incidence will have to be built in spot on. Making a one piece wing for the top sounds like the way to go, its only 88" wing span that should just fit in my little van

Hi guys, yes Mayhem it will be R/C, in answer your question Propnut, as far as i can see after studying drawings for some time is the dummy fibreglass fuel tank is fitted to the main struts coming up from the fuselage and has a large steel rod ( 6swg ) protruding about an inch on both sides which line up with main spar on top wings and they plug into that, and two small nuts and bolts to hold each wing in place. Does not sound very stong but drawings advise the wing rigging is most important to integral strength of airframe.The lower wings are fitted to the fuselage much in the same way as full size just a few nuts and bolts.

Just about to start building a quarter scale Tiger Moth, got the scale drawings for xmas in process of ordering a load of balsa and spruce at the moment. This should keep me busy for a year or so.

Looking really good, brilliant detailing
