Dare I say... "Winter Projects" ??
Hmmm.. another beautiful summers day in Scotland [:'(] The motorway (freeway to my friends "across the pond") signs say "Heavy rain and flooding forecast" made me think what I'll be building this winter.
Although I confess to being a warbird freak, my choice this year is a very unusual and rarely modelled subject, the Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer..
I may do a build thread on this if anyone's interested?
Anyway... what other projects have you guys planned?
Regard
Scott

RE: Dare I say...
Hello Scott,
I've been to Scotland twice and have been through Edinburgh, Machrihanish, and Kinloss. I've loved both trips. I would surely love to go back some day. I'm not sure where Hamilton is in relation to those two cities.
Put me down for a yes vote to watch a build thread of this Twin Pioneer. I'd love to watch. I have three or four projects mulling around in my head right now and am not sure which one to do... a flying wing, a P-51 racer, a Golden Age racer, and a modified LT-40 for general all around use. Have to finish up my NE-1 for the moment, but that is only an ARF.
I'd love to see how you go about designing and building this airplane. I love the triple tail.
Bob

Very interesting and unusual aircraft..what size were you thinking?....I would definitely sign on to your build..would you do semi-scale?
Still trying to figure out how that thing is flying with both engines dead in the air it looks like !!!!

It is a very intresting subject, I too have been researching this as a twin electric possible build. I have located some good 3-views and other drawings. I will be standing by if you choose to begin a build thread...

Put me down for a YES to watch a build thread. I love un-usual subjects and that falls in that subject perfectly.
For my winter projects.
The Priority, is to get the prototype composite airframe of my 1/4 F-14D Tomcat molded and the prototype ready for next years flying season.
Secondary projects are:
Finish the detailing of my 1/5 FW-190 (unless it sells first)
1/5 Arado for a friend
B-26 marauder
and possibly a 130" wingspan B-2 bomber if i can work out a deal to get it shipped to me by the current owner.

I'm about 20 minutes south of Glasgow so Edinburgh's only about a half hour's drive... they have a nice example of the Pioneer in the museum of flight at East Fortune.
Mein Duff, it'll be around 110" span for a couple of .52 four strokes. I've been warned against making the L/E slats work in flight due to stability issues but we'll see
