What aircraft should I model next?
This will be electric, either GWSducted fans or GWS 400 sized motors,
Construction and size will be determined later - I just need to know which, of a long list,
I should spend time on!
For "other", It has to be unusual!

Thank you
Graeme

I've been around flying models for more then 50 years, R/C for 40 years and even had my private pilots license for a few years. The only airplane I recognize on your list is the D.H Comet. So, don't feel able to make a recommendation! Obviously others are unable to help you, as you like some fairly obscure stuff!

Good luck with this!

I recognize the Tu-144 (flew on one when I visited Vietnam in 1991) and the Brabazon. But none of the others ring a bell. Really, you've just got to ask yourself which one YOU love with a passion. And if you can't decide on that basis, think in terms of which best suits your current modeling skill set. Or do any present particularly interesting scale challenges that you'd like to tackle?

Perhaps you can explain to me why I don't see any list of planes at all on his post/ I've seen this happen several times in past that I seem to have missed something?

The list of aircraft is above as a poll - I realise I like "obscure" aircraft! What fun would it to model an aircraft that has been done hundreds of times before?

Thank you

I actually had plans drawn up for the metro at 74 or so inches and am waiting for the plans and stuff to get back from the kit cutter.

Oooh - will it be glow? Which airline?

Graeme

It will be glow and I am going to run key lime air out of denver for the scheme.. http://www.keylimeair.com/CharterOverview.asp

So far the votes point to the Metro - What wingspan would work well with twin speed 400 sized motors? (I am clueless when it comes to electric!)

Hello, I voted for other.

Why not model a LATECOERE 300 "CROIX DU SUD " which was flown by Jean Mermoz ?

That's a great looking aircraft - I live on the water, so floatplanes have always intrigued me  - I  would build it, but I would like a little more experience with my simple flying boat first - would'nt want to wreck a nice scale model due to lack of float flying knowledge! [X(]

Thank you for the suggestion

very great looking, yes !



Good luck for your search.

Now THAT'S a model!

OK - I guess the Comet is the winner, provided there is no more votes!
For power, I need 4 electric ducted fans - I will use the biggest ones available, with GWS electronics throughout.

Has anyone seen a good 3 view of the original Comet 1?
