Hey
i should be getting my thorjet F20 plans + wings in the next couple of weeks.
I like to plan ahead. Im unsure bout how I sould paint this!. If you have a F20/F5
please share some pictures with us. Also has anybody got info on the Byron F20,
IronBayModels website is useless.

Cheers
Volkan

its not a f20 scheme, but its easy to paint and very nice in my opinion..

As far as I know , there are only four different chemes, as this jet was grounded before it`s purpose was completed.(customers not satisfied)
I have alot of pix, but no 3 wiew chemes.
I used to have a Gleichhauf Shark, but gave it to a friend, when he crashed his Panther.
Outstanding project though. To bad there are no good kits of this jet in large scale.
Byron had one, but I guess no moore.
Good luck with it, and let me know if I can help you out on your choosen cheme.

Regards

Here is the fourth to the left.
But saying there is only four, take hight, I might be wrong.
There was just one handful planes beeing made and flown.

Sorry about the quality... But It`s a start.

Take close look, and you`ll see.

Gudmund

thanks for the reply,
have you got any more pictures on the red scheme?

Volcan,
I would recommend that you build up the wings and forget about the foam ones. I would also buy the CNC cut former set and use the thinnest Proskin sheeting, from Mick Reeves Models, for all the ducting.

duthe.

Some moore.

I`ll try to get them bigger.

FS 36375 - bottom.
FS 36118 - Top fuselage and flying surfaces.

The paint is Chevron. Still in need of detail and clearcoat.

I missed the pics.

What kind of kit?

Gudmund

Volkan,

What Byron F-20 info are you looking for?

Mike

Two pics of my modified Byron F20 powered by a P160

Im getting the foams wings + plans from a mate for £30, so i still could build up the wings, and use the foam
ones as a templete, I will get the CNC formers.


Gudmund Malones, thanks for the photos, I will go for the red scheme!


what engines is it for (df), wingspan, length, price etc.
any websites with more info on this? Oh, and is it kit, or ARF

From a 65 DF to a P-160, now that is what I call an upgrade![sm=thumbup.gif]

Hi Volkan,

here are some pictures of the F-20 including one of my own, wich I crashed last summer....

rgds,
Adryan

Volkan did you get my PM
M

adryan --> what f20 was that?
mick --> i got yr email. im not looking to convet the byron to a turbine. I just need some general info on the Byron F20 and information about price, and where (in the UK) i can order it from.

Hi Volkan,

it's the small F-20 build using the plans from the Thorpe Brothers
(for a 46vxdf with Thorjet)


Adryan

CAM2 --> which F20 is that.
also any pics on the underside of the red F20s,
adryan--> any more pics?

The airframe is a Cressline F-20. Set up for a Dynamax/OS 77. I decided to use that motor and fan on other project and plan on using a JF-50 Super Bee in its place. My own pipe, and a re-design on the flight controls/set-up. I had to leave this project for a while and never finished the nozzle area or detailing. I would recommend a small plastic model (as in pic 2) for the reference and panel lines. I believe I may have the review of the thorjet F20 in the old copy of Jet, maybe I can scan and send to you, if that helps. Glenn

thats cool man, is there any more info on this!!!
(im keeping my selection open) maybe a website???

Hi Volkan,

here some more pics...

Volkan,

I don't think that Iron Bay is producing the kit yet, don't know if they will. I sent them an email a while ago but never heard anything back and I never followed up with it. I have two kits, one built with retracts installed almost ready for paint and finishing and one NIB. The Byron kit is ~1/6 scale. The length is 92" or 96", mine is hanging up so I can't measure it. Wingspan is ~55". Set up to use a Byron fan, no engine specified in the directions. Flying weight according to manual is 13.5 lbs. to 15 lbs.

Mike

valk70 how much did you get the kit for? you
