More pics, when ordering the kit I purchased the canopy fixing kit plus the hinge & horn kit along with the wing tube. The one thing I did not order which I wish I had is the servo hatch kit. For the build there is a massive library of pictures on Mirce site showing the build sequence. It is sta...

These are more pics of the fuselage

Well with being in isolation at home I decided to get building this new jet kit I purchased some months ago. I went for this model because it was different in appearance to other sports jets and it flew on a 100 size turbine. I did not check out its size which has surprised me at how big it is at 10...

Slow progress on the Buchon due to this virus lockdown, wings were progressing well. Almost ready for top sheeting

Still working on the wing, it’s slow progress but getting there. Also started on the plug for the canopy / frame which we aim to mould in carbon.

Started on the wings making rib templates and checking fit etc

Started glassing of the cowl plug

I have now made the new tail feathers to the point of fitting new wing tubes as I could not get a replacement tube to suit the existing set up. As fit the engine, this has had a major strip and rebuild. ZDZ seem to be a jinks with me. This engine was new direct from the factory but arrived with no i...

Hi Daniel, I use a polly V belt J section and choose the number of ribs you need

It’s 5 years since I started this project, the reasoning behind it was to build an aircraft to fit my Zenoah 124 twin,s that I had made. Two aircraft were started, one the Buchon and two the P-40 at 1/4 scale. Both fuselages were done as skeletons then all work stopped. Late on last year I got the b...

On her wheels

After another factory unit move in 2019 I have more space to get on with the bigger projects I have on the go. The Spitfire is now on her wheels and the engine fitted. I am looking to get her test flown later in 2020

I have a jet tube and fibreglass front,I may still have the fuselage templates, Chris has a couple of wing sets I believe. Dave

I may have a set on the shelf, do you have a picture and or dimentions

Not all engines are suitable and in many cases the front bearings can cope, with my Zenoah projects I add a second bearing to give added support due to the crank design.

I am putting the Zenoah Triple up for sale as I no longer have need for it due to a change of plans. It is built using all new engines and parts and has been thoroughly test run as some LMA members have seen. It turns a 40 X 22 SEP 2 blade prop at 3250 rpm. Price £1500.00. If not sold I will be stri...

Yes Colin, I have my own CNC business and its one of the perks of the job. I purchased Solid works this year and it has made making these sort of projects a lot easier than when I designed them on the back of a fag packet.
