The peoples projects

[Phil Clark]

Still plenty happening here.........350+ hrs into a Ziroli Corsair for a ZG80 (currently detailing & riveting) and just over a weeks worth of work on finishing/painting a CompARF Spit..............

The 2013 build list stretches well into 2014 already, possibly even early 2015..........so all sorts to report on as and when they progress.

[Gregg Veasey]

My Bearcat is still coming along......albeit slowly!

[Phil Clark]

Good, some of you are still alive. Like the Corsair Phil, whats the colour scheme going to be?

This.....

[Mike Booth]

Hope it won't be gloss Phil.
Original Fleet Air Arm Corsairs were in matt and looking filthy.

[Phil Clark]

If it were me, I'd go matt with plenty of filth!!!!........not my decision though and the final discussion with the customer hasn't happened yet.

Not another Duxford based scheme, and I can assure you that machine maybe shiney but it gets bloomin dirty just after a few minutes of running as do all of those Yanky radial engined monsters. Atleast the model has a proper engine fitted which will throw out plenty of oil.

Nice one Sean, I'm sure there's going to be lots of interest in your Mossie

This is my long running project of a Meister 1/4 scale Zero, it started out as a part built fuzz & kit purchased over 18 months ago. The retracts with it were for the 1/5th Zero although being Sierra they were of no use to this project being too short. I have made my own retact's and the legs are nearing completion. I have made the engine mounts as modules with a choice of Zenoah 80 twin modified to CM6 plugs (to get it inside the cowl) & electronic ignition or Moki 150 Radial, wings are sheeted with 2mm lite ply and glassed using the water based system which worked great. The fuzz is nearly ready for glassing. Steve is also building one and is at about the same stage of build using a 3W 80 twin for power, we aim to complete them this year. I am looking to modify the collector ring on the radial to exhaust at the sides as scale.

That means there will be 3 new Meister Zero's, in 2013.... hopefully. Mine has a Moki 150.

Also, I hope to test fly this in the next few weeks ready for the season.

That's great Richard, looks like Steve & I have a bit of catching up to do.

[Gregg Veasey]

zero's are looking good. I trust you all have the updated meister build instructions?

[David Brown]

Your not saying we have to start again !!!!!!! are there any major changes.

Dave

[Gregg Veasey]

hahaha no you don't!

No major changes, they are just longer! Send me an email to gregg@veaseyjet.com and I'll send you them

[David Brown]

Thanks Gregg will send Mail,

All the best Dave

[Gregg Veasey]

Instructions now sent. They may be of use to you even though you are a long way through the build already.

The main point to note on the Meister zero is that unless you are confident about prop hanging it, you'll need to mix some down elevator with flaps!!

All these Zero's being built with radials. I'll have to leave my poor little 72cc powered one in the garage this year!
