7th Ponty Fly In - Mystery Model

'Looks terrific Ron....... I need to do some serious digital extraction, I haven't even started mine yet though the motor arrived today .

[RON]

Thanks Paul
It’s taking more effort than I thought it might though.
Maybe it’s because I’m fighting a stinking cold.

Ok Ron, they're yours. Just PM your address and I'll post them to you.

Received them today,
Thanks very much Carl.

Looks great Ron.

I've not really started yet on the plane build as I've been busy trying to get my pulser working, The electronics seem fine but the motor / gearboxes I have are either too big and heavy or have the wrong gearing that is not easily changed. Yesterday I was trying to adapt an old Acoms servo into a pulse motor/gearbox. That still looks promising but I have some 3D designing and printing to do to make an adapter for it. I've also ordered some of the motor/gearboxes with different gear ratios recommended by Tobe, but I doubt if they will arrive in time for testing before Ponty.

Also, the good weather means that I've been out flying most days: I was out all day today, and I'm going slope soaring tomorrow. I need some bad weather so I can get on with the Pulstar build!

That’s the fuselage complete,
I’ll start the wings this evening.

From a bag of nails kit, that looks pretty good to me

It never ceases to amaze me how shiny you can get that doped tissue - or have you faked that as well ?

Cheers
