I know this is an old thread. But would anyone have a decent drawing of this Rotol blade (as discussed at the start of this topic?) As I am needing to make an accurate one in 1/32nd scale for a model. Any help would be hugely appreciated

Kind regards
Anthony

I agree, what an interesting observation!

Now it begs the question that if there is a dataplate out there we could see a company like Airframe Assemblies or HFL/ARCo build one? We need to find a rich investor first of course! As for the wing, isn’t it similar to the Attacker?

Like most things, anything could be done with buckets of money etc I guess….I’ll stop daydreaming now LOL. But how nice would it be to see a Spiteful fuse built up??

Right-O……back to the real world of fixing an Auster

Hi I know this is an older thread, but the pics have disappeared of the TT.35 Mosquitoes with the Dayglo panels. I am also trying to find any info on the Wind driven Type ‘G’ winch carried under the bomb bay, good photo’s or drawings would be very much appreciated to help a friend out.

Kind regards
Anthony

One of the Few, that’s a good point. Owners would like us to enjoy their beautiful aircraft or they wouldn’t display them at airshows etc.

I have poured (am pouring) an inordinate sum of money into my Auster T7 WE552 to have her as original and ‘stock military’ as I can. In fact I could have brought probably 3 airworthy ones for the cost of this rebuild so far. If someone was polite enough to say….A,B or C is not quite right, then I wouldn’t be offended. But if they were arrogant about it then I might be. I agree, feedback is a gift and I am all for feedback if it helps authenticity. Often it’s not what you say, its ‘how’ you say it. I would take it on board and decide whether or not it bugged me enough to fix. I want people to look at her and enjoy seeing a piece of history brought back to life to tell a story (in this case the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force) of a bygone era and learn from it. And please give me feedback.

Maybe we are too precious about worrying if we offend an owner if we see a ‘tweak’ that could be made? Sure, their money their decision, but maybe we shouldn’t assume we are criticizing or running anyone or anything down? I know of a Mustang owner who had a couple of things very politely pointed out (not by me lol)and he was most happy to hear it and made some (not all) of the changes for authenticity

Anyway, that’s just my personal thoughts for what its worth.

Old thread this one, but worthy of resurrection considering all the great pics still on here!

Whatever happened to that Auster pictured above, I love that scheme and couldnt find anything on the ‘net’.

I better contribute if I am too drag this one up.

Here is my mate Charlie’s Auster when we were up in another Auster flying around South Canterbury NZ

Show us some Auster photo’s…..projects, historic, recent, whatever…..

R.I.P Adrian……so I sorry I didn’t get your old Auster WE552/HKG-4 finished in time for you to see her fly again. Thank you for the encouragement, pilots notes, photo’s and great phone chats…. I will miss you.
