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 :D

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.

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 !!!!

RE: Dare I say...
 

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 ;)

Regards
Scott

Ditto ditto ditto. I find myself drifting from warbirds every now and then to golden age. Just something about that time period.

I'm in, love unususal subjects. Good looking aircraft, not sure if I've ever seen one before. Hard to thik about winter with the last eight days all being over 100 deg.

This is actually my build season. When winter gets here, I'll be back at the field.

Haven't made up my mind yet. I'm torn between a BUSA Fokker DVIII Kit or a ESM German Warbird right now.
