Re: Sounds of silence
Cheers for all the feed back, a trial run has proved it just fits and I should be able to avoid the dreaded laser

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Sounds of silence
Cheers guys.
I have a choice of colours that include white with black sunburst stripes / yellow / yellow with red sunburst stripes.
I looked at the White & black option when I gave it a coat of White primer but thought it needed more colour so have gone for plan "B" Yellow & Red with plan "C" being just Yellow.

Wow, a high-soaring banana!
Seriously, that is looking wonderful. Could you be persuaded to show a pic revealing how the wing is mounted to the base, please?

Pretty.
Ok, I am no expert but with that much bank shouldn't there be some serious aileron movement?

Re: Sounds of silence
Yes & No, with fix wing you move the controls until you attain the desired position then centre the controls, if the pilot kept the controls in the left wing low position the a/c would just continue the roll until it finishes up where it started.philp wrote:Pretty.

Where as with helicopters, you have to keep the controls over, as the helicopter will automatically revert to level flight.

I simply drilled a hole in the base and wing tip and added a brass wire.dwomby wrote: Could you be persuaded to show a pic revealing how the wing is mounted to the base, please?

Re: Sounds of silence
Loving this Splash, it really suits the title.
Although you could also have gone for 'they call me mellow yellow'!!!
