Phoebelala - old none surf related pics!

[Apache]

Having had some grief with the PC today, and copying across a load of stuff from the old HD, I came across some pics from my aeromodelling 'yoof'... Get a load of these! The kit is one I produced for a little while. Basic 2m Glider. The Islander is scratch built electric in the days when batteries were meant for radios, not planes! The spit is an electric conversion of a '10' size IC, 9 years ago when my son was 2 ish. I was ahead of my time! The boat? Mine before children (hey Vince, I'm opposire a building site in that house too!) The UFO? Well, it's a UFO isn't it?...

This is one of my brothers claims to fame.

He flogged the rights to the plans for £120 when he was skint a few years ago. He is a mad keen aero model builder, when he is not messing about with a real full sized ME109 and helping restore a Hurricane (which should take to the air tomorrow for the first time in many years - weather permitting).

That link was working earlier - honest! In a nutshell he designed the Extra-Vert. He has built four himself. The most recent has a .4cc engine and can take off vertically. It is an animal.

I was thinkin of something like £200 for the trainers flight box with panel electric winder and 4 channel futaba radio....The 2 planes both have engines but only 1 receiver.

I was lookin for about £120 for the tigermoth its only been drooled at and no further...

Hi m8, been a bit quiet what with the house move (not done yet got problems) and the test driving of endless cars..........

Those are good pics, I remember my first time "junior 60" was fun in a way if you like that sort of thing. Then a yamamoto followed by an EZ sportsman 525 class act that was!

Sadly never got round to taking pics before they died/were sold/binned.
Digital cams are great eh?
