Wed, 09 Jul 2008 06:08:25 -0600

Hello

I was just wondering if you guys had any Ideas what would be a good 109 kit about 80inches give or take a few . Im by no mean a master builder but i have most topflight kits under my belt and a few others . I thinking its time to try somthing bigger . I think the only problem i might run into is fiber glassing as I havent tried it yet . Oh and one thing it has to be able to be shipped to australia as im kinda stuck here for abit (( im from missouri but wife is australian )) any help would be great thanks

Sounddesign by Propdesign?

Hi guys,

just completing an electric conversion of a Brian Taylor Bf 109 F (modified as a G2):

Although beeing very happy with a reliable, powerfull and clean powerplant, I well be missing a somehow scale-like engine sound.

Many pilots in the scale area use one prop for regular flying and another prop in competiton events, that would generate an inferior sound display.

The combustion engine guys in our club, constantly try to reduce noise, by using specially designed prop.

Electric sound systems add a weigth, that can't be spared with this relative small plane (58" wingspan)

So: Why not turn in the opposite direction and modify prop design for a better sound display?

Has anyone gone into this?

This is one of the kits that Dave himself cut. It is the full kit, comes in two boxes. I also have the static prop to go with it. $450.00 or some gas? (lol)
Thanks for looking!

I started my Meister life with a mustang many years ago. I don't own it anymore but it's still alive and going through a refurb in Wales UK

My P47 is still going strong and in its 8th year

My zero is very near completion!

So what next?????? Maybe a P51B?

Hello everyone!

I have been sifting through my new Balsa USA SPAD XIII kit. This post will start what I hope is a fun build thread!

I am planning on doing a fun fly version of Frank Luke's "26". I understand he flew several birds during his short career.

So far I have a couple questions..

1) Color plate for this bird?

2) Has anyone done this model with a joined elevator?

3) Springing the landing gear. (I'm not happy with these at all.)

4) References? I have Profile pubs SPAD XIII but it doesn't help much, all 11 pages...

Right now I'm looking at a G38 for the power plant and I'm considering adding smoke for the fun fly factor... Aces of Iron Bust and Williams Brothers Vickers and Wheels.

My big problem is the color scheme and decals and stencils or at least finding decent documents for this bird.

Any suggestions for the novice WWI Biplane builder?? :-)

Thanks,
