Sirji,
Lovely, including the fit and finish of the cowl. Source?
Best wishes for maiden flight (tomorrow?)
Next week you can add windscreens, door outline, panel lines, fake rivets, rib stiching etc.

BTW, my Dynam Tiger Moth can fly really slow. Then it shows a funny trait. When I try to turn it with aileron input, the adverse yaw makes it turn the wrong way! Guess that huge rudder has a purpose. Recommend some rudder mix to aileron for initial flights...

For your next project may I suggest a 60" scale model of say a Fieseler Storch, or a Wilga, with slats, flaps, long dangling legs, lot of windows, the works!

On this forum, besides you, perhaps there are very few builders of the model
At one end of the scale, there's flyingboxcar, with his LARGE models and painstaking attention to scale details.
At the other end is Glidiator with his ultra light indoor specialisation, and his efforts to promote rubber power models.
Then there's me, still trying to get someone to film a 10 sec chuck glider flight, unsuccessfully so far despite offering cash prizes every year.

What happened to Saikat, an old hand, and Kiran rc, a really promising youngster?

Iyer sir, thanks! :D

The cowl came along with the kit, I cut it and painted

The maiden is waiting for some good weather. Flying in the fog is difficult for these old eyes ;)

No way! No way am I going to add scale details :) :) :)  Enough!

Hungary?  ???
A real Tiger Moth cannot look pristine.
Please add windscreens, some weathering, smoke and oil stains etc, even if you don't want to add panel lines, rivets etc...
And flag on tail.

Wish I had remembered to include, with the Green Chinakote, a few meters of Doculam, something new I learnt about.
Have lots. Really thick, and really thin.
Next parcel, when I feel upto standing in the Speedpost queue!

See my Marvin thread for my experiments

Sirji,
10 days and no update? All well I hope.

Meanwhile, how do I locate your 'List of builds' thread?
Can't find it.
Want to suggest same to members of my group on RCG Vintage Forum, many of whom are prolific builders like you!


sanjayrai55

Will wait for good weather. Pretty bad nowadays. When it's not foggy, it's windy!

Here's my post on RCG.

Hi everyone,
On my local forum RCINDIA.COM, one of my friends, (sanjayrai55) has a thread 'Builds I have posted on RCI'
It has links to his various build threads and is updated periodically.

On this RCG Vintage forum there are many who build several models every year, for the Build Offs or otherwise.

It would be nice if you guys each started a thread on 'Builds I have posted on RCG'.
Just list the model and post a link to the build thread.

We can then find all of your builds in one place.
