Pilots Hanger \\ Brian and Philip Curry
If you would like to see your 'hanger' here, please email steven@ndmac.co.uk with pictures of your top 3 planes including a little bit of text on each plane explaining how they fly, what the building process was like and what engine you put into it.
Delta
Smartmove
Engine: Super Tigre .90 2 stroke
Wing span (inches): 59
This is a kit from Dave smith models and it takes a bit of building. The instructions are a bit lacking and out of date for building but has lots of info on how to trim perfectly in flight. As you can see with all Brians models he pays no attention to the recommended engine size, this is for a .45-.60 size engine but flies very well with a .91 in the front. Its a brilliant model it just needs a bigger tank and he doesn’t feel a .45 would be good but with a .60 would perform any aerobatics you know of and you will get longer that 8mins out of it.
Great Planes Seawind
Engine: Super Tigre .75 2 stroke
Wing span (inches): 60+
This model has not yet flown off water but has completed 3 flights of our runway. It flies great, very responsive and the Super Tigre .75 although still running in seems to have plenty of power. Brian reckons he could get a 108 in that cowl! The take off is long without flaps which are used now and it lands like a Kangaroo with a lead tail!
