Re: Model behaviour
An excessive amount of real life has been interfering. But now finished.

Re: Model behaviour
I saw a documentary on this on Foxtel/AUSTAR a couple of nights ago, and have added it to my "must see" list on my upcoming European holiday.
It's a scale model of Hamburg Airport.

Re: Model behaviour
Thank you for your kind comments, gentlemen. It made a bit more of a meal of it than it should have been, but it seems to have turned out all right in the end.
Next project: this lady http://www.adf-gallery.com.au/galler...s_ccbsERYsyYm5 combining one of these http://shop.italeri.com/Products/618...-skytrain.aspx and one of these http://www.redroomodels.com/conversi...onversion=1562

Re: Model behaviour
Mmmmmm. Tis sexy.
 Edit. Actually it has that thing, those that do and those that coach. As in, visit or dream about visiting.

Re: Model behaviour
Does anyone know where to get plans for an rc aircraft that can carry 10-20kg?
He asked innocently.

Fella named army-dinner-jacket
from over the Middle East reckons he's got one of these:  soon as he reverse engineers it he will put the plans on E-bay

Re: Model behaviour
Hi Loki
That's quite a project. I don't have experience with powered RC flight, so can't comment about plans, but considering the diminutive engines with which people have gotten themselves airborne, this is not beyond backyard engineering.  Pick a wing suited to your desired flight characteristics (fast or slow, maneuverable or stable, long or short range) and work backward from there, would be my recommendation. That will determine the materials, overall weight, and power requirements for the finished product. Everything else is window dressing - control systems, undercarriage options, colour scheme. My boy finished his contribution to the Antarctic theme, this afternoon. He's justifiably proud of his efforts and keen to show everyone, as am I, clearly.  My Sunderland to Sandringham conversion project is finally on the move.  I had no idea the civil airframe differed so much from the military version, and likely would not have started this folly had I done.
