Own design PSS Gloster Meteor

 This one has been bubbling away for a while, with some beta work on the first build being done by PSSA member Chris Barlow.  I've now got my own under way now, and she's come along nicely.

The wing is ready for glass now, as well as the tail parts.  A bit more fuselage shaping as well as the canopy / cockpit install and the fus will be ready for glass too.  All coming along!

F100 finished and ready to fly

 It's been a long while since I've posted, so some updates I guess!  Firstly, the F100 build which as per the title, is finished and awaits her maiden.

She did attend the Lleyn Peninsula PSSA meet, but we had nothing like enough wind to try, so maybe the next Orme event.  

Here she is with the painted F105.   Oh yes, the F105 is painted now and also ready for flight!

Some photos of her armament now;

She weighs just over 7lbs RTF, so should go well in a stiff breeze.

C17 - keep on priming

Lots of bits still being primed and test fitted, final bits of priming hoped to be done this week, with a view to getting top coat started this weekend.

Engines test fitted for magnets :

Engines now have vortex generators and tail pipes added, then primed :

Flaps hinged onto wings : 

Flaps and engines mounted : 

Fuselage spraying has started too :

C17 - Paint at last, let's get her done!

It's been a while since I've posted (happy new year by the way!) but things have (as always) been moving along in the background.

The C17 has finished most of it's glass, but I'm always finding bits to remake or re-finish to tweak it a bit.  The port wing and most of the control surfaces have now been primed in 2k high build primer, with more bits waiting for garage space to get in there and get the same treatment.

After a quick rub down :

I forgot the battery / ballast box in the nose, so had to cut in and get that installed :

Engines are all now being finished off, as is the starboard wing and flap arrangement. Nearly 4 years after starting, the finish line is almost in sight!
