Winter projects?
 

I was just wondering what people having going during the inside season, lucky for me I can fly most of the year but most spend this time building. So whats your winter project?
Im trying decide on my next project, but i am still saving for the next project.
Just for fun and conversation.

Got a Ultra Flash waiting for me but I'm also helping a mate with his [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=10260157]SM T-33[/link].

RE: Winter projects?
 

I've got a couple hundred gallon of Jet-A i plan to burn as my winter project...........and not in a heating stove :)

RE: Winter projects?
 

My F-14 project... again
touch-up and more detail work on my FW-190 unless it sells
Vought V-173 scratch build
J. Bates B-26 marauder

RE: Winter projects?
 

Thomas, I'm dying to see the F-14's maiden. I lurk your thread every few days to see your progress.... [8D] Looking good!

RE: Winter projects?
 

Finish my TJ A4!.... :D

Going to buy all the stuff I need to get my Rookie II in the air. The biggest thing I'm needing is the gear set for it so guess that will be my winter project. KC-just too darn lucky with your WX down there. Ha. Ha.

RE: Winter projects?
 

Hooker, any of you guys that wanna make a winter trip down this way are welcome to come fly as my guest, 500' x 2500' of flat smooth CLEAN concrete, even Ron Long could hit the runway every time here.

RE: Winter projects?
 

Thanks mike. That would make two or three of us. I'm ready to get this thing molded and flying.

RE: Winter projects?
 

KC, don't tempt me. I love it down there where you are at. Does the possums on a half shell stay out in the winter month's down there? Thanks for the offer. I might just have to work that out.

RE: Winter projects?
 

the armadillos are out in full force year round!!!

RE: Winter projects?
 

Repair my PA F-15 gear mounts, redo fuel system in my FB Mig-21,rebalance F-22, finish building BV T-33 and start my Mick Reeves Hunter.

RE: Winter projects?
 

The MR Hunter is something i want to do fairly soon... so do a build thread! :)

RE: Winter projects?
 

All sounds im thinking f15&f14 myself but that depends on somethings. And like Kc said burn lots of fuel since the winter is better than summer flying do to mild temps.

RE: Winter projects?
 

Just started #2,3,and 4.

RE: Winter projects?
 

Now that's funny!!!!! If it's 500 ft wide, I probably could too!

Jim

RE: Winter projects?
 

Yea, but bring the gong just in case! :D

Bob

RE: Winter projects?
 

Winter projects good question.I have more projects than I have time for..which I think is the case for most.But I will share what I think I will get done.DV8R, BoomerangeXL,FEJ L Viper and a few other projects that will just have to wait.Did I mention I'm remodeling the entire house with a new work shop in the back yard:)

RE: Winter projects?
 

Project #1 - Get my LONG-TERM project 80" Ziroli Panther in primer and test flown (that's a 10-year old picture)

Project #2 - get Louie's Turbinator painted

Project #3 - Get my new Xtreme Jets F-4 ready for next season - it should be here in the next month or so...

Bob

RE: Winter projects?
 

But true Jim!!! :D

RE: Winter projects?
 

Still working on my Mark Frankel Learjet 31A (making good progress, in primer now). Hope to have it completed early in 2012 so I can start either my Avonds F-16 or BVM T-33.

RE: Winter projects?
 

Both *really* nice flying airplanes - although the T-33 can be tricky to land - esp. in comparison to the F-16. I built one of those for a buddy and its an awesome flying plane!

Bob

RE: Winter projects?
 

Completely rebuild a crashed 1:5 scale F84-G...

cheers,

Frank

RE: Winter projects?
 

I am working on a 46 size twin from plans called a Gemini. A lor of work but its going ok so far. :D

RE: Winter projects?
 

yeah its driving me nuts with nothing to build, I am having to dip into my hobby funds to buy 6x12 trailer to haul the stuff. I normally just use my vehicle, but with jets and Jet-A fuel I cannot do this. I cannot take the fumes, so more delays. I guess I can just do some pc gaming this winter.

its amazing how much a box with wheels cost these days [:@]

RE: Winter projects?
 

My winter project? my blue baby f-15 1/7 from FEJm twin jetcat p-140 RX PAN

RE: Winter projects?
 

Just started my new MB339 In a desert camo scheme ;)

RE: Winter projects?
 

For the first winter in a very long time, I am at a complete loss as to what I would like to build. Probably because, with all the ARF's that I have put together, I no longer consider myself to be a builder. Its more like I have become only an " assembler ".

With that said ............ I have am considering BUILDING a Balsa USA, SPAD. :D

RE: Winter projects?
 

Hey Mario I want one of those, with a small paint scheme change

is yours the new material? if so how much does the twin weigh dry?

RE: Winter projects?
 

hey fenderbean fej do not make the f-15 with the new material , about the weigh i dont know ye , i think probably 43 pound dry

RE: Winter projects?
 

You can get all their jets in honey comb, I asked lowell about this as well he said the same thing.

RE: Winter projects?
 

It's not a jet but it's the winter project......

RE: Winter projects?
 

FB,
Here are a few of mine, building three for a friend of mine...two down (FEJ 1/4.5 Hawk and 1/5.5 L-39) and one to go...1/6 F-18F

Rex

RE: Winter projects?
 

rex man I know they are hard to land but the f-18 super hornet is just freaking sexy! I have a friend that chose a the skymaster f-18 for his first jet and I cannot wait to see it fly. With respect I choose not to get one but some day it shal be mine :D
By the way Rex the F-16 is super easy to fly im looking forward tot he 1/5 scale [:-]

RE: Winter projects?
 

desert I have seen the real p51 in person and the sound alone is enough for me! good luck with your dago red!

RE: Winter projects?
 

Going to turn a Nexstar into a tail dragger and take the dihedral out of the wing. Work on making new wing struts for my precedent 1/4 scale Champ. I'm going to post pics when I get started. Not a bad season for my first in model airplanes.

RE: Winter projects?
 

I'm going to finish HURRICANE #2 for the spring. This one has a AMT Olympus for the push!

RE: Winter projects?
 

For me, Iwant to build a Glider Tow plane using a Wren MKV 54 TurboProp! (over 50 lb static thrust!)

Iwill either use the C-Arf SF260 OR a Wilga 2000. Either of these would be excellent
for that powerplant. Right now, the WILGA gets the edge since it is on the market and has a complete
build manual. Comp-arf hasn't released the 260TP yet NOR do they have a build manual published!

see>>> http://www.icare-rc.com/wilga-2000.htm
and http://www.carf-models.com/public_ca...amp;proId=2779

RE: Winter projects?
 

For the winter I still have to finish a turbine EC-135, .. I also have another war bird in the shop now :) .. As for Jets, a SM MB339 is hitting the workbench as well .. i need to rebuild the one I lost this summer ..
