Hi Nielly,
Came across this website and thought you and alot of other forum folks would be interested to see it, whether you’re into R/C models or not.There’s everything from B24’s and B17’s to a Tu95 Bear with a 21ft wingspan!!(Oh and there’s about half a dozen Mossies and a Sea Hornet thrown in for good measure 😎 )
Click the link and prepare to be amazed folks,I’m not sure alot of this stuff would be legal over here!

Although nowhere near Neillys standard, Btw the Mossie looks lovely, I used to fly radio controlled aircraft back in the mid to late 80’s. and its something that is immensely fulfilling, although quite expensive, once you have had a go it’s always there, you always say “I’ll have to get down to flying them again”. I would advise anyone who hasn’t done it, to “have a go”. join a club and listen to the experienced flyers, as you will find them more than willing to help you get started, with advice as to what model to start with and so on, I was told not to even think of a scale one until you have a few years experience of the ones that are easier to fly, as it would, more- than- lightly, end up as a very expensive bag of fire- wood. The red and white one below is the aircraft I learnt to fly with and is, I think, a DB Mascot don’t know if the company is still around, the other one is a glider, that unfortunately I never flew…still… “One day”.
Although not strictly in keeping with the forum I hope this is of interest to someone.

Hi Hatton,
Yep, it will be a flying model. I was hoping Freddie would fly this year, but time is going by so fast that it’ll probably be early next year (Bloody good job I wasn’t on the original DH design team or the Mosquito prototype would’ve probably just about made the Korean War!:p )
Cheers,
Neilly

Neilly, will you be flying her. It may sound silly but afterall your effort i bet you’ll be real careful with her. I remember seeing some of the pictures you posted a while since and she looks a beauty.
best regards, steve

Hi Ant,
Thanks for the site. Some superb looking models. I’ve almost finished my C160 & I’m hoping to get it into the air next week (time & Mrs Neilly permitting!).
As for Freddie, still waiting for the engines & silencers to come back. The canopy is nearly complete, all the inner frame is in place, side blister windows are made (lots of burnt fingers & mega swearing!:p ). So the cockpit will be the next bit to get on with. Most of the bits & pieces, instrument panels, pilots seat, radios etc., are made, just waiting to be glued in. When I have some more piccies I’ll post them.
Cheers,
Neilly
