Some Pictures of my, somewhat modified, version of the 72" TN Spitfire. Modelled after the Duxford-based EP120-Spit. Did a electric conversion, it has a 10S 5000mAh setup, but final weight is still only 6.3 kg (it is very lightened in the rear end...). I'm very happy with the design, very easy to fly !!

I thought that you might like to see a mod for the power battery
access to your 62" Hurricane. Also the model depicts a Mk1
Hurricane used by the Finnish Air Force in 1940 against the
Russians during the "Continuation War". Just waiting for the
first test flight. Many thanks Mike Brown

She has flown and she flies very well, Here are some pictures. The model went together nicely a most enjoyable build, This one is based on Flt. Lt. Peter Vaughan-Fowlers aircraft of No. 161 squadron from the shuttleworth collection
Many thanks.

I have just finished my 1st from plan build of your 72” Spitfire,
Electric power, electric retracts. I have thoroughly enjoyed
the build. Not flown yet the weather has been terrible. Unfortunately
the model has an all up weight of 20Ib; it has full 90 degree
flaps so should slow down ok. Attached are some pictures of
the finished model. I have learnt a lot from this build which
has inspired me to start a new project. George from 4-Max recommended
the electric setup. Prop 20” x 10”
Motor Professional Series PPPO-6367-230 Batteries 2 x 5 Cell
5000 mAh ESC 100 amp.

Please find attached photos of my two Vampires from your plan. Both have been modified, one has been based upon an early fighter version with a short nose and rounded wing tips, the other is the later trainer version (but only one pilot in the cockpit due to space restriction!) with the revised tail fins and nose length as per plan. Both have had the fuselage depth increased, the wing taper increased a little and the elevators controlled by snakes run inside one of the booms. Both fly excellently on old OS25s.

Just a quick line to thank you for a great model. Recently finished the winter build
and she flys beautifully, just a couple of clicks of aileron to get her hands off.

I have been building your 62” Spitfire from the plan pack and I just wanted to
say a massive thank you for designing such a great model. I have maidened it today and
it truly is a wonderful design and ever so docile! A real peach.

plans looked I had to have a go.It took me a few years to get started but once I got going
I couldn’t stop.

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.

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.

it flies like a dream.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

I have modified the standard u/c by fitting a coil sprung cross brace by drilling a

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

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.
