Scale / ASK-13

« on: June 17, 2011, 17:45:48 PM »

after seeing Gerry's ask13 and alans ask8 thought i'd need to get my finger out
i've now sorted the brass box for the wing joiner in the first four ribs


made these arms for the air brakes out of 2mm aluminium


got some supplies today glue, pins and i brought some silicone paper from work great for building on nothing sticks to it  


so i might get a bit done over the next few days

Slope Soaring / road trip to rathlin island and the north coast of ireland

« on: May 28, 2011, 18:15:47 PM »

John, richard, Terry Jones and myself all met up this morning in Ballycastle to take the ferry over to Rathlin Island
now the winds this week around the north coast of ireland have been very strong and most days the ferry has been cancelled
so after a lot of should we go or shouldn't we go three of us decided we would go and boy was the crossing rough     at one point i was thinking to myself Terry made the right decision stayin on dry land

once we landed in Rathlin we jumped on the bus and that took us to the west light house and this is were the bird sanctuary is and the site that we were going to fly off was perfect in every way

we flew for 3 solid hours and then the bus returned for its last stop of the day.We returned to the harbour and straight back onto the ferry for a much calmer sail home  [-o<

i'm glad we went it was a great experence  :clap:  :clap:  we're hoping of doing the same thing next year again

sorry i've no pictures  john and richard had the camera's

we're hoping to fly off other parts of the north coast tomorrow depending on the wind direction

hi Gerry
thanks for that reply, i have been pondering over the wing joiner now for a few weeks  :?:
one of the ways i had thought about doing it is the was you have described
i have a 1/4 scale pat teakle Pic20 and it's done the same way  

haven't thought about the colour scheme yet but i do like the idea of yellow
