I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

On your tail!

Everything looks very straight and true, great job. Are you going to be flying this?
cdwheatley23-Jan-07 17:44
I have it on good authority that it'll probably be very tricky to get flying, so it's for display only.
jgood24-Jan-07 10:19
Sounds good. I see you have the rubber motor in there, so it's all ready to go. What was the all up weight in the end? I think I'd like to try this one.

I've just weighed it (on the wife's kitchen scales!) and it comes in at 70g. Is that light or heavy for this type of model?!
jgood24-Jan-07 20:33
Sounds light to me. I'll see if I can get my Nieuport weighed at some point, I'll update here when I get the numbers.

Have you flown it yet, or is it for display like mine?
jgood25-Jan-07 14:23
I haven't, it was display only. I just wanted to build it. It's at my parents place too, 3000 miles a way.

It came out OK, but I screwed up with the decals. I didn't seal the tissue well enough, and the decals didn't go on smoothly. :(

Hey, this photo has just made it into the latest edition of the Guillows catalogue - fame at last! :-)
jgood08-Jul-10 10:59
Excellent. And, this is a good sign that maybe you're going to start making balsa models again!

Well deserved! Fame is fleeting so enjoy it while you can, knowing someday you'll be replaced by some younger Fokker.

Thanks chaps. Haha, nice one David! You are right though. James, I wish I had the time to do ANY modelling at all at the moment. The last time I was able to was a couple of months ago when I built a Tiger tank, pics here http://chrissmodels.webs.com/apps/photos/
