    G-AFFD

    It’s been over a year and a half since the last post on this thread. Does anybody have information on the whereabouts of G-AFFD or the state of the renovation work? Please? PLEASE!?
    The wings were confirmed at Fenland for a time but no longer. I could not find out where they went. The trail has gone cold!

    Excellent set of pic’s Gary.

    Looks like you may have put the first hurricane shot in twice.;)

    I am just stunned by the quality of all the photos these guys put in and I am not one to criticise anyone’s efforts as anyone who sees mine will readily confirm. Just look at the two shots and you will see that the Hurri is placed differently on the shot, the prop is in a different position etc…
    Perhaps I just spent a bit more time drooling over them?…

    Flying Models

    Hi guys.
    I’m new to the forum and have been building a 1:5 scale (112″ span) Q6 G-AFFD for a few months. I joined in the hope of finding out where the full size is – hopefully to get a photo of the instrument panel … no success there yet. The model first flew a week ago. Electric powered too. Flying-A … I couldn’t agree more. I started in electric power about fifteen years ago, gave up the gas and never went back. The new 3-phase motors and Lithium Polymer cells have revolutionised the power scene.

    Percival Q6 inst.panel?

    Hi guys,
    I’m new to this business and have been following the chat on G-AFFD with interest as I am just completing a 1:5 scale RC model (electric powered) of that aircraft. I would like to get a photo to edit and glue on to the blank area where it ought to be, but Fenland don’t have the fuz of the full-size (or the wings now it seems) and I don’t know where it went having left IOM. Have any of you either a suitable photo or knowledge of how I could get hold of one?
    Any help gratefully received.
    Incidentally the photos of G-AFFD at IOM show a non-original cheat line. The lightning strike doesn’t appear on photos of any of the original Q6s I’ve seen.
