Another new Toy

With the 2010 season fast aproaching ive just been informed one of my new demo models is on the way

Anyone care to guess?



by god i need some space in the shed

Hawker Hunter?

I've just got two large box's as well ! Unfortunatly the largest one has a hole right through it into the inards
Unpacking will tell all ; Hopefully all will be OK.
Andy, are you sure. Looks like a paper dart to me But, my eyes aren't so good.

I'm about 95% sure yes. The cone at the intersection of the fin and horizontal stab (braking parachute I think) and the little overhang on the top of the Jet pipe give it awa I reckon.

I'm wondering if it will be EDF, or turbine powered though. I'm putting money on EDF, and judging by the size of the control surfaces, I reckon it will be about 48" wingspan, possibly a little bit smaller.....

Andy

EDF! No prop hanging then
Damage to my new toy limited to the covering. Depressed covering on top of port wing . May come out with gentle heat but there are sharp edges to the depression which may split (probably caused by square poll thrust into box). Awaiting Globalrc instructions as to actions.

Nope. But if you spec the power system correctly, you should be able to "fan hang"

Andy

Keep it clean! Keep it clean! Remember the younger memebers.

Allan is it just the film that's damaged or is it in a sheeted area?

Brian, Just the film has a sharpish depression, no structural damage. But, as I said earlier there are sharp edges to it in places. It looks like a square pole has been thrust into the box. The corners of the poll causing the sharp edges. In total its only a small area but in a very visable place. If the covering should split on heating, to draw out the depression, then ***@@@!!!!

Most of the ARTFs are covered good quality film these days "Chinacote" went out with Chip Hyde, I'd give it a go with the iron failing that get a ***@@@!!!! sized decal Sorry mark we're getting here

Just had a phone call from Globalrc. Hold tight on doing anything, the've put a claim in to TNT and they may want to see the damage. Globalrc will call me tomorrow to advise.

Back on topic. Come on Mark - TELL ALL!

I'm now 97% certain I'm right

your actually 99% right Andy lol, More details to follow when it arives for now im in chopper mode!

M

Sorry to hear that Allan, Im sure Stu will see you right

Hawker Hunters were used by the Patrouille Suisse aerobatic display team back in the day

Well uf you look on the side of the fuz, you can just make out 'isse' from 'Patrouille Suisse' i presume

I reckon this is the puppy retails not far short of £300 vey nice too

So what is the wingspan then, was I right?

Andy

ok then little more teasers on my Hunter (yes it is a Hunter but not in the scheme shown above, i think), it will have fully working:

Throtle
Ali
Ele
Rudder
Flaps
Retracts
Gear Doors
Dropable ordinance
Nav/Landing Lights
Afterburner

O forgot it may also have thrust vectoring but highly likley i wont add it as it will be sooooo wrong on a Hunter

Oooooh, get you and your afterburner!

I assume it will be one of the LED ring type burners, not the fact your packs will be on fire? Have you already sourced one of them, because I have had one on my "to do" list for a while now....

Andy

nice move on removing the name on that pic Bri, and yes you are right

if that is indeed what i mean and im not confirming that it is! it will all be in the box if you want a peak at what it may or may not be, no problem

Cryptic Barnes.....

One of these two schemes then




Nice
