Large Model Association Forum

Not sure which one yet, but I am hoping to start a large scale Mosquito next year. There doesn't seem to be too many about, (should this not tell me something) but the urge will not go away.I fancy the Rawle 1/5 scale but I am unable to find much information nor many flying videos

Does anyone know of a flying example apart from Richards? Really keen to gather as much info as possible prior to committing myself so any info / experience from the never ending talent often displayed on here would be more than welcomed..

Appreciated,

Frank

Hi frank...if your going to put a lot of effort into another 1st class build wouldnt one in mighty quarter scale be better......

Hi Frank

I've also got " the urge" for a large mossie, (wifes grandfather died in one in the war)I've got a Brian Taylor 71" FB mossie plan I intended to double to make a 1:4.5 scale. 142" with two zenoah 62s. It would be a beauty .

Hi Frank,
I'm in the long process of building Richard's 1/5 scale Mosquito. I have changed the plan slightly as i'm building the fighter bomber version. There are some videos of Richard's Mosquito on youtube

This is the stage i've got to with my build so far

Stunning Sean.. ..just the way I like to build them, all balsa / ply.... I have just mailed Mr Rawle to see if he has all accessories availble but it doesnt show the retracts..., have you cut yours yourself or had it pre-cut, ..looks well. What motors /finished weight do you expect, do you have a forum anywhere?
Many thanks,

Karl,

Quarter scale would be out of this world....make sure you do a thread..

Regards to you both,

Frank

Hi Frank,
All my own work i'm afraid. Richard does take a while to respond to emails some times as he has dyslexia, you are better off giving him a call. I got my retracts from Unitracts not totally scale but then i didn't want to pay £800 for a set of mains.
I'm hoping to keep the model under 20Kg but it is registered just in case it comes out a little on the heavy side (Mr Bones is keeping an eye on it). Planning on using a couple of Zenoah 38 or 45's again depending on how much the air-frame weighs.
Richard doesn't do the spinners anymore for the model which is a pain, as yet i haven't found any on the web which are the correct size/shape.

Sean.

Nice work Sean.. I see Richard has a 1/4 scale on his site, I assume its still within its primary state, wonder if he will be producing all accessories ect for it

I think he said he would if there was enough demand for it.

Good afternoon to all DH98 lovers

I built mine on between 1998 to 2001 from RR plans; it has been certified as "over 25kgs category" in La Ferté Alais in 2001 as it was built and based near Paris; Although this plane is not really easy in a logistic point of view and not so easy to take off gently from hard strips, it flies beautifully ; after a long storage breack of 5 years I intend to bring it back in the air in spring 2014 in Geneva where it is based now;


If you need any help you can contact me in MP

Thank you and best regards
