The Making Of A Morris Dancer

What do an engineer’s vice, a blow torch and a kettle have in common? Well, if you build this model, you’ll probably also use each one of them to do it. This is an electric Fun Fly model designed and kitted by Chris Morris – he of our alley. It’s my 1st foray into this type of plane. It all started at the club’s own Fun Fly event last year, when I was ‘roped in’ to have a go and Chris was basically supplying the plane that most people used. It was his own design and he offered to kit it, so I and several others of us got one!

Superwing MK12

 After a high speed vertical descent from 400 ft back in Spring 2024 after losing radio contact and left to gather dust in the corner of the hangar and with the Winter weather now arriving I thought it may be time to rebuild the Super Wing. The foam wing survived well being the original wing from numerous previous versions of the fuselage.

Carl Goldberg "Electra"

Carl Goldberg Models. 2 meter wingspan electric glider for 3 function RC

Looking for something to pass the time, whilst I waited for a new large petrol model, I saw this advertised in the BMFA classified adverts – just reduced, by a local fellow, so I bought it. Apart from being quick to build, it offered a first step for me into electric flight and something different to my usual sport flyers. This model has its heritage rooted in the Gentle Lady by the same manufacturer.

AcroWot FS Glow

I acquired this AcroWot from a club member who bought it from our late club membership secretary.  It is in pristine condition and had minimal flights.  Simon the original owner built it for electric power with a SK3 5045  500Kv motor. Running on 6 cells with a 12 x 6 APC E-prop.  At the time of this article these along with many other of the "Wot" series have been on back-order for ages, although there are plenty of the foamie versions.

Miss Molly

 A Miss Molly - Sports aerobatic model, 4 function, 1137mm span, Saito FA-40a. I decided to build this model, because I’d finished building / repairing everything else, the winter weather was keeping me away from the flying field and I wanted something to keep me busy. I’d just re-engined my Piper Cub (more power needed) and so had a virtually new Saito 40 available for a new project.
