Topic: Stueysheep and his new 1/3rd Scale Pup

Been out this morning with Mr Sheep and he air tested his new 1/3rd scale Pup.

T'was a lovely morning and it looks the dogs dangly bits in the sun and even better in the air.

Nice one Mr Sheep, a fine craft indeed 

Charlie C

Top job, do you like it Mr Sheep? Hows it compare to the direct drive Camel?

Ian.

Nice to see it has gone to a nice home.  I was tempted to purchase it when it came on eBay the first time. . . . .   or was it the second time 

Could have been the third or fourth time  even

I did loose count I have to be honest.

Her indoors would not let me click the "buy button"  says we have enough planes in the house.  What does she know 

While sulking I have purchased a 1/3 Glenn Torrence Fokker DVII.  It's a new kit and I am sure the back of my head will hurt like hell when the box arrives!

PS Only joking Mrs.  J

But it'll be worth it mate

Dunno about the back of your head, but your back will hurt carrying the box, my D.VIII kit weighed a bloody ton

Just waiting for the cockpit kit and a few missing parts for mine, then time to buy a bigger building board

You'll love Glenns kit though, superb drawings and parts


Mark

Well everyone I speak to says Glenns kits are the Dogs so why give up a good thing.

Hopefully finished in 2011 so I can shoot the Sheep out od the sky.  That's if the back holds up.

Mrs. J is actually cool with the model, but I am sure the size going to be a problem in the kitchen where I have permission to build with special passes naturally 

I'll be running up a build thread for it no doubt.

YAY, thanks Charlie, good to see the pictures...

Ian, the Pup did feel lighter and able to fly a lot slower than the Camel. At one point I thought the Pup had parked itself stationery... But don't the controls get "very" soggy when you do!

The throttle response is instantaneous and provides immediate waft  which caught me out on landing, and that I haven't flown for four months before this maiden... The touch of throttle i use to cushion the landing just lifted it into the air again..

Only had one flight as I had to rush of the the cinema (how to train your dragon) but will get out again later in the week..

Now, the 100cc 3W-twin from the Camel would go into the glider tug very well and I could find another Z38 and reduction drive to replace it in the Camel...

Hopefully finished in 2011 so I can shoot the Sheep out of the sky.  That's if the back holds up.

If I can use "hopefully" too, then hopefully you won't need to shoot me down, i'll have the LVG as a flyer then!

Nice to see it back in DP with a good home, I'm sure you will get on well wlth it stuey

Thanks Rich, she's lovely. Can't believe it went on e-bay four times.... You did a smashing job on the build and is a credit to you..... It does sit very nicely in the air too...

I don't do WW1 stuff as such, but it does look bl**dy good, especially with that huge prop gently wafting away.

I got 101 things to do right now, finish Rafalroo for the weekend, finish SE5a (big job) fit engine to Cristen Eagle, refurb my trailer (bigish job) either put the DR1 back together or sell it (just needs batteries and rudder servo fitting), put together my Black horse Cap 232 which is still in it's box before I think of any new jobs to do.  trouble is back is a bit crank right now.......... so throwing money at towbar and having it fitted tomorrow to the Vulva V40, I just cant do it right now :(

looking forward to seeing this new toy Stuey, may I get a twiddle on the stix

  ? ?   strange man ??

Look Charlie, you love Gliddering and all that serene stuff, your just one step fro real joy and Ww1... You know it makes sense...

Shame there is no such thing as a WW1 glider eh!!


That would keep ewe quiet.

Ewe never know whats on the Horizon.

In actual fact there were two or three WW1 gliders developed. Two of these of German desighn (airial torpedoes) and at least one Sopwith project. I dont have a lot on these but have a couple of piccies somewhere. Nothing new under the sun is there?      regards Ken

Ok Mr Sheep

Who is selling the SE5a .Is it Rugsley? How much?

Now that could be an interesting spectacle, aerotowing WW1 style.

Any more details Ken.

Just out of interest

Siemens Schuckert 300kg Torpedoglieter also a 1000kg version also produced, (13.5ft and 24.5ft span bi plane gliders) these succesfully launched from an airship in the August of 1918 in a series of trials.Wire guided from the mother craft and accurate up to 4.5 miles range. Nowt by todays standard but  powered flight was only 15 years old then and had the war gone into its fifth year we can only guess at the results.   regards Ken
