JETS JETS JETS

Trying to drum up some enthusiasm recently, Mark and i began building a depron jet each. with the aim of some winter dogfights. mark has a hawk on the board and im going for an su47. both to be powerd by brushless motors and lipos.

Hopefully we will get a few more on the go so get down to B&Q get some depron and get buildin!!!! Bell motors r fine on these so no excuses over expensive gear either.

Top that off with a pile of free plans at www.parkjets.com

The more the merrier

Pics to follow

I want one!

If you get some Depron in, save a sheet for me I'm liking the look of the little DH venom...

Cheers
Andy

Me too.... but you will have to build it for me Leigh as it will take me a year at my rate and I am already behind with about 4 un-started /part done models now!
Should take you about an hour by all accounts

where`s the Depron located in Buy & Quibble?

Down buy the flooring, minty green in colour, only 6mm normally but ocationaly u find a pack of 3mm

"Can you tell what it is yet?"

Looks good though... I'm going to build the Venom this weekend. The weather looks like poo!

Andy

hers some more. they really are easy to build mark was doin good with his (so they must be easy) he had some tight bends to get round tho, a bit of sanding and scoring and all was well. while mine has a few more parts thers very little bending so far.




Oh andy i have a set of the venom plans printed there f'in huge. bout 50" span shrink em down to bout 35" and were all the same ish scale.

Nice one. 50" is a bit on the large side I reckon! I'll download the plans today, and get a set printed at work. I'm sat here looking at a little GWS EDF40 ducted fan unit, and wondering

Just wondering, are you going to paint these foam creations? What paint do you use?

Cheers
Andy

yes im planning on painting mine up and im sure young Leigh will be doing the same, any foam safe paint will sufice, leigh uses acrilyc paint in his airbrush to good results and we also discovered that the rattle cans for spraying lexan r/c car body shells works really well on depron so thats what i`ll be using

Mark

Good stuff.

Do they do Lexan paint in Pink?! Ha haaaaa!

Cheers
Andy

only for mark

I think Mark's hawk will be known from hereon as: LadyHawk...

Now, where is the "rolling around the floor laughing" smiley when you need it

My Venom is going to have a tasty Winter Camo colour scheme I think!

Cheers
Andy

some progress on the jet. "ladyhawk is sadly lagging behind"






surprising what you ca do with depron with a bit of sanding

oh and excuse the dog, shes a poser.

Hey Leigh, Can I have a copy of the plan for the model dog - It's really lifelike!!

can have that one if u like, never crashed

Looking good there Leigh...reminds me a bit of my old Alienator with that forward swept wing layout.

tis one of these bad boys

and so is this....

Whoooaaaa, do I see a vectored motor mount on the back of that there depron creation Leigh? That's cheating!

Cheers
Andy

sorry to disapoint andy no vectored thrust. all finished now, was hoping for a maiden today but look at the weather will get some pics up soon, no batteries in me camera.

Looking good Leigh, thinks I must get me some of that foam stuff and join in the fun. By the way where does the dog fit in?
