This is the Westfield models Panavia Tornado converted to electric power, using a Purple Power motor, ESC and battery from 4-Max. It's a real joy to fly. With a 1:1 power to weight ratio, it really flys jet like. Great fun.

The aircraft represents a B17G of 96BG, 338 BS which flew out of Snetterton Heath, a local airfield for me. Power comes from 4 x outrunners with 2 x 3700 lipo's. It has plenty of power & can stooge around on half throttle until I get bored! It flies beautifully as if on rails.

John Fewell's Aerovan

John Fewell's Aerovan

132" Lancaster
Built by Marius Jordaan and Allard Walker of Cape Town, South Africa in 2003, and was the first really large electric model to fly in South Africa. It was powered by four geared Astro 05 brushed motors and forty Nicad cells.

With the numerous flying sites we have in Cape Town for all year round sloping, I could not resist to also build a slope version.

Unlike finding a suitable motor for the size plane, I enlarged the plans to suit a motor I already had. The end product therefore had a wingspan of 1000mm.

Regarding the Zero, I did stick to the designed size and as with all your other designs, it flies like a dream.

72" Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress built by Matthew Harrowven Nav lights and eurokit air/spring gear, also I installed split flaps and a retracting tail wheel, AUW 9lbs 2ozs, flys silky smooth and with flaps lands at walking pace!

The 72" Lancaster is the later design. It has working landing lights and bomb doors with Robart air/air gear AUW 9lbs and flys fine!

As this is the first plane I’ve ever built she’s taking quite a lot of abuse but its great how you can almost annihilate this model and then just get out the superglue and off you go again!! Built by Piers Lincoln.

Building the Zero gave me new confidence in my own ability. With that in mind I moved on to the Corsair which is a personal favourite. I’m really impressed with the end result. Built by Piers Lincoln.

72" Lancaster built from the original plans. Power configuration - 4 brushless motors turning 8" Vario Prop scale 3-blade props set to 6" pitch. 2 off 3S1P 3200mA LiPo's paired to inner and outer motors. Weight is 2.4kg.
Built by Mark Davies, South Australia.

23" English Electric Lightning

The model has working inner gear doors and a 15" three blade Vario Prop powered by 6s LiPo's, which produces tremendous thrust.

Here's one from Snohomish Washington USA.
Really enjoyed the build. Has an OS 75 AX and as with Ian's it also has working inner gear doors.

I saw the magazine in a news stand here in the Seattle area and immediately fell in love with the model and had to build one. I now have the copy with the Hurricane and am planning on building it as well

Hi Tony here is a completed Hawker Hurricane. this is my first build and it has flown.

Thought I would send you photo of my second Lancaster.
Built by Gilbert Stevens

Firstly what a great starter plane the Sky 40 is, this is my first plane and I have built this up since the start of the new year and it had its maiden flight this Sunday, unfortunately the weather stopped me getting out with it sooner but it flew great, with a very experienced IMAC Pilot Chris Bull taking her up and down safety and was very impressed.
Built by Craig Wightman

I bought this model through SLEC, and have enjoyed building it so much.
Built by Craig Wightman

Have just seen there may be a SKY 120 coming out with would be a very nice step up on both the build and getting into Large Model Flying front. So I will be watching closely for when this is realised, and would love to get my hands on a prototype at some point, maybe at one of the shows.
Built by Craig Wightman

I recently received a load of old RCME’s and in one of them was this leccy F-15. It’s Tony’s F-15 designed back in 2000/2001 so a real blast from the past. As you can see it’s a beauty!! At the moment it’s got 100+ watt motor on it so should really perform.
Built by Piers

They all fly very well though the lightning is a bit tricky to hand launch and has 10 flights on it so far.
Built by Allan Poustie from South Africa.

I put flaps on mine and it turned it from a good flying plane to a great flying plane if you don't mine a bit of ad hoc

Flys off the water beautifully

I have flown my TN Sunderland after the electric conversion . . . wow! A thank you to George from 4-max for coercing me into installing flaps, man what a difference they make to the flying speed.

Just a few pics of my SKY 120 which has now done 6 flights in the hands of a more proficient pilot than myself, it flies really beautifully and is the envy of several clubmates at Watton Radio Model Club.
Built by Jim Wills.

Also have moved the fuel tank aft - closer to c of g by cutting tank mounting plate in half & moving front half to rear behind former 4, this leaves space behind the firewall to fit the Toni Clark S/S cylindrical silencer (later - but the current one works great producing just 76db on the BMFA Noise Test carried out at my club).
Built by Jim Wills.

I have modified the standard u/c by fitting a coil sprung cross brace by drilling a 3.5mm hole in the upper part of each leg and attaching 3mm rods / springs down to a ball joint at each axle.

Hi Tony, My second one! The first one crashed due to a a poorly soldered joint, my fault I fear. Still this one is great, it flies really well and was a delight to build.

The twin booms give it a quite unique profile in the sky so it can just be flown for the sheer pleasure of it's appearance or the SC25 9x6 prop combination can be opened up for quite a lively performance. As with the hawk there's a very pleasing whine coming from somewhere - the prop I think. I've been flying this one since 2006.

Built by Ian Jones.

The Westfield Vampire really captures the atmosphere of this iconic aircraft. The markings are based on VT871 and FB5 of 6 squadron. Silver is a very hard colour to see against a grey sky especially with the thin wing profile so red spinner, wing leading edges and tailplane have been added.

Built by Ian Jones.

After 2008 refit: Covered with pro-film, new canopy and a few home made decals. Internally the SD200 servos have been replaced with Hitec HS88s

Built by Ian Jones.

This photo of my hawk means this is it's 4th year in service and still going well. The SC25 & APC 9x6 prop on the front makes for a fast aeroplane that is mild mannered at low speed.
