woolybanana Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Amazing, JJ, just amazing. What talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Why, thank you Wooly. At times I was almost in the loony bin with that lot., but luckily enough I don't think anyone noticed any difference [8-)]I have also been playing with the idea of spinning cotton/wool (don't worry, not wollybanananas ) and came up with this. It's called a book charcha, an Indian spinning wheel. Obvious where the book bit came from. Don't look at the box when it's folded, that one is just to see how it works. I am going to make a proper one sometime soon. I have tried it and apart from the yarn looking a bit like a knotted rope it does work OK [8-|][url=https://flic.kr/p/2iNaPvR][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/31337/49749232263_6dcef0be3b_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2iNaPvR]MVI_3924[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/]John Fairbairn[/url], on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Oh, Jonz, that is just fantastic, I enjoyed looking at the parts before you worked your magic on them!(I meant the plane, it is très cool!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 If you like the Habicht Mint then what do you think of this little thing?[url=https://flic.kr/p/2jJisVh][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50361814658_e56ceca3c1_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2jJisVh]IMG_3959[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/]John Fairbairn[/url], on Flickr[url=https://flic.kr/p/2jJisRe][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50361814423_45f088c58d_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2jJisRe]IMG_4562[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/]John Fairbairn[/url], on FlickrSopwith Camel thingy. Small and a bucket load of fun to fly. All it is is a load of flat plastic foam sheeting with an electric motor and a prop on the front. It looks quite realistic in the air and will do anything that the real WW1 fighter plus a lot more!Edit : - Nearly forgot to sat that that's me in the background. Yet another good shot of me [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Thank you both, Mint & ET. I missed out on my Sunday morn fly this morning, fixing our Karcher [:-))] So next Sunday I'll have to make up for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 JJ, did you buy the plans for the Tiger Moth, was it a kit. Love to know more with my grandson in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Wooly that Tiger Moth is a Sopwith Camel thingy and one of the most famous fighters of the first world war mate! The Moth came much later and is also delightful.The Camel (that reminds me of a joke [;-)] ) comes in a kit of a flat pack box of bits of 1/4" thick foam panels that are glued together with cyano glue, super glue to you, and with great difficulty they form that little aeroplane that defies flight but flies really well.Unless your grandson knows how to fly radio controlled aircraft then this would be way beyond me. I had a spare pair of pants with me for the maiden flight of mine because I had seen another of our RC model club fly his. [:-))] The first flight of mine led to the first repair due to not enough control movement mate [8-)]My RC flying came to a halt for the 13 years in France. No clubs close enough and us being on a frequent route for the Armée de l'air française, but it's great to be back with my old club again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Another of my favorites. A Minimoa 1/5th semi scale 30s German gull wing glider and a lovely looking glider that I built from a plan about 25 years ago. Good grief, it's surely not that long ago?[url=https://flic.kr/p/297KHbn][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/1879/43395974005_a089c9ee62_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/297KHbn]Minimoa Selsley[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/]John Fairbairn[/url], on Flickr[url=https://flic.kr/p/297KHAk][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/1877/43395975395_a2f4182e07_k.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/297KHAk]Minimoa Selsey 2[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/]John Fairbairn[/url], on FlickrIt seems quite strange really. It has a 10 foot wing span and it doesn't seem to be very big when I just chuck it off of the side of a hill?That should not have been 2 of the same photo??
