Due to health problems I will no longer be able to finish this model. So this is now for sale in the condition you see it in from the latest photos. This is the wooden frame only, but I can also sell some glass cloth if anyone wants that as well to finish the project. Looking for £350 ono. Located i...

I think the logo has potential, but it needs an awful lot of work as it stands. The L, the M and the A all appear to be written in very different font weights and the airplane will look very poor at small sizes. The red and the yellow are also two colours that clash badly and is more compliant with ...

Hi Stewart, sorry to be so slow been a hectic start to the new year, this has sold I'm afraid.

As per the title, I'm selling a JR DSX-9, which is one that was made ready fitted with the 2.4gHz Spektrum module, as opposed to one that has been converted. Works with Spektrum and JR DSM2 receivers. Had it serviced not too long ago out of routine. Full working order. Only selling as I've streamlin...

Current weight for everything in the image is a little under 8kg, so I'm still hoping to get this in under 20kg.

There is loads of control throw available.

This evening I added the control surfaces and servo mounts to the outer removable wing pieces, which will now need a little sanding off to finish.

The last job today was to start adding the form shape for the rear of the wing, that will eventually form in to the shape of the rear of the main fuselage.

The next small job was to add and shape a leading edge and finish the fit of the centre wing piece to the fuselage.

With the wing skinned, I cut out some of the holes I need for servos and wiring. The centre hole is to allow wiring down in to the fuselage. I also made a couple of tools for doing a couple of particular jobs, as it would seem I need to check Permagrit to add some more useful items to my list. In pa...

I glued the servo mounts in place before skinning the lower side of the wing.





Skinning the centre wing panel.

Focussed on the centre wing section today. Rough cutting leading edges to flaps.jpg Flap leading edge shaped.jpg Flap ready for install.jpg I added some balsa block in the centre of the wing where the bolts will go through, just to help prevent any accidental over tightening causing damage during us...

A little bit off work done on the centre main wing section tonight.

I've added a 3mm ply reinforcement under the skin of the wing where the bolts will go through to mount to the centre fuselage.

I've started adding a few more components that are easiest added at this stage of the build, which in this case is the lighting. The OV10 has a single beacon light on the top of the horizontal stab, so this has been fitted. Sequence wise I've programmed this with a UniLight 8 channel controller. IMG...

As a fully qualified graphic designer I can help with a logo, either redrawing your existing one to a high standard electronically, or by creating options for a new one if you like.

Looking really good Chris, would love the full story for the Journal if you ever fancy having ago. My contact is at the bottom of my posts and in the Journal. Good luck with the rest of the build. Dave (LMA Journal Editor) Be happy to write something up once it's all finished and we can get the imp...

I knew they'd have a technical name, but although I love model building my aircraft knowledge is limited to the physics (voodoo magic) of how they fly.

Starting further work on the tail booms.
