Topic: FunFighter Mustangs are here!

cobra i spose??...

what happened to the twin mustang? did it ever get finished?

Streamlined, fast, good looking, excellent handling qualities. . . . . . and thats just me!! the Tony is a winner!! bring it on!!

P47 Mike?

the Huri is from the other lot,

What??? Do you mean hawker, rather than Supermarine???

i guess that counts out the Seafury then

no, the Huri was Cambrian, the first ATS fighters were from the Cambria stable, hence we had the 190, but not the Huri

the kits are now very different from what most of you will remember as the traditional funfighter. much lighter, well cut and quicker to build.

it's all old Welsh politics...............

anyway, thats kits, theses are ARTF's and an ARTC

answer ............. 'P39 Airacobra' 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, yes please,   first one to me please, 

answer ............. 'P39 Airacobra' 

Do we have to mount the engine behind the pilot? 

pilot who said anything about a pilot!!!

ARTF or mouldie?

dont think we do a moulded aiframe from modtech--good old traditional balsa bashing is what they are great at

i meant the mouldie pilein racers ATS do.

hi cactus
    my hurri flies okay in fact its flown with you guys at the hop farm on numerous occassions could'nt tell you how straight it its just fast ish

A moulded one would be stunning but having built the wood tony and seen a few others fly that would be the more practical way to go.

Is there a website or somewhere else to get more info. I'm actually after a mustang wing from the size range up. found a weblink a few months ago, but can't find a sausage now!!

the site hasn't been active for a while. now the ARTF's are about there should be a new one about soon.
can't help on the wing tho, dunno about these things

Hi What do you mean from the size range up?
Wings can be ordered from mike mayne in both normal and glassed pylon types as seperate items. He's on holiday from tommorrow though till 12th October.

think he means the older larger more scale ones.

Cactus,

you were right, they did/do a larger sportscale series.

After much searching I found this link

http://www.shop.edirectory.co.uk/cambrian_models/3104/mia/d/mustang+sport+scale+wings/pid/5351118

Anybody know if this is still active or is it a hang up from the good old days. Sent them an email but no response yet

Hi Cambrian is not the same company. These are the origional designs whereas ATS have been improved and developed over the years to a point where they have much better performance than the old design.
The only thing that remains is th outline shape and method of construction.

the old ones also have a much thicker section wing so you wouldnt get the speed range ATS have.

Phil - New owner of the Cambria licence used to have shop in Stourport on Severn (Modelcraze) has only just moved to new larger premises in Brierley Hill so this could explain slow reply to your e.mail. Modelcraze was my LMS until he left Stourport, sorry to have lost him.

Phil - Same Cambria designs - new licencee. He has just moved to the address on the link (from Stourport on Seven) which are much larger premises. Got to be v.v.busy, nice guy and very helpful. Give him another go.
Gurth.

don't you just hate it when a post goes missing and you can't remember what you wrote, only to find it didn't go missing after all

   
      Yep!

Cheers guys,

It's nice to know I'm not barking up a blind alley.

Christmans present I think will be one of the new moulded funfighters I think though...

You'll need to be quick as the moulded ones may have sold out and for the forseeable future they're not able to make any more.... you could be lucky and get one but I would PM mike mayne and ask when he returns from holiday on the 12th Oct.
