In the Hanger

This is my baby, an Xtreme ultra light 3D aerobatic plane powered by an MDS 58 engine and capable of every stunt you can imagine, it has been crashed (dead stick prop hang at 10ft) and rebuilt once but has seen many hours of airtime, near misses have included the elevator detaching totally from the airframe and loss of one aileron making manoeuvring very interesting

My 3rd warbird and this one does fly, its a lovely Perkins Corsair powered by a 91 four stroke engine swinging a massive 15" prop

I was able to negotiate a great deal on the Corsair above by saying goodbye and good riddance to these two spits, the one on the left never flew but the other one had about 10 short flights, mainly due to the COG being too far rearward and gravity taking over, the last ever flight saw it with three battery packs and lead elastic banded to the engine, this gave it some stability (on par with a house brick) so it had to go.

I bought this stunt plane from a guy at the club, its similar in looks and performance to a CAP 232 and is powered by a rare MTN 46 engine, great fun to fly and excellent at aerobatics.

This is my first ever plane, a Tri-40, obviously powered by a 40 engine. This plane was modified to fire rockets (see link) and was even used for wireless camera filming. It also starred at the Peterborough robot wars meet although the rocket mechanism failed on the day - very embarrassing. Its now obsolete and waiting for a new role, something dangerous, a one way mission......

I bought this Ripmax Trainer 40 second hand from EBay as another rocket firing platform, as you can see it does the job quite well, the engine has been beefed up with an MDS 58 so it has ballistic vertical performance, however this is not very scale like !!!

The latest addition is this beautiful Limbo Dancer that Rob built for me, he's made a fanatstic job of hand crafting this out of balsa and it flies like a bird, excellent for low speed aerobatics and powered by an OS40 engine - THANKS ROB ! what a guy.
