I’m a new subscriber and watcher of your videos. Very pleasant to watch and listen. Good company while I work on my planes.

Kits have come along way since I was kid in the 50's, just wondering could you make one side of the cabin hinge from bottom, to give your self more room to get to the servos?

Mark nice building. This kit goes together like building a 3d Jigsaw Puzzle. Jeff in LA USA

What ! Knocking off already ? 🍮🍮🍮 ♥️😉🙃😎 NZ

I have been told that laser cutting burns the wood, the dark side of each piece, and because of that the glue may not stick completely to the surface. Some recommends to sand each face going to be glued. What is your experience ? feedback ? Thanks.

Nice one. Looks like a nice quality kit. I’ve seen many that are a lot worse I’ll tell you that. But building in the kitchen….I’m afraid that’s a no go here 😂

Excellent tutorial! I've been watching all your polyester covering videos on loop😅😅!! I'm busy building a 1/4 scale Macchi M.16, and I want to try this technique! I do have a few questions though as the Macchi will be working with wing warping. 1. How rigid is the finish with the dope? Does the wing become really stiff? Will I still be able to warp it. 2. Is shrinking dope 100% necessary? I'm currently living in Italy and having difficulty finding dope, can I replace the dope with something else? 3. For as gas/petrol engine, what do you use for fuel proofing? Sorry for all the questions! Thank you for all the great tutorials! You're a master!

If you ever need something to do ........ If I get sidetracked because of this I will throw things on your roof at 3am......... Excellent stuff !!! ❤😉🙃😎 NZ

This was very very helpful thank you

Mark nice build so far, to bad you couldn't of had your friend come over and walk him through the build, buddy build. Jeff in LA USA

Nothing beats building a balsa model. Currently building a Gentle Lady. I build my own jig by 3D printing the right angles. Works like a charm.

I’m in the later part of the build of the Cloud Clipper. Pretty good kits! Not everything is covered and the instructions are sparse but with some experience and some deductive reasoning, it can be built easily.

Mark I've got two kits I have been meaning to build for 35 years, be a mate and build them for me. Sincerely, A. Notorious Grifter

That's a beauiful plane! Nicely done

Looking good

Hi mark ,I just enjoy building these kits ,parts are all there and it comes together well and in good time ,I zapped mine and then pva glued all joints

Looking forward to your build Mark. A bloke in my club has built one and covered it in brown paper with water-based paint over the top. It flies well on an OS 40. Mind you he's an experienced builder! Your mate Roy would have been better off with a Ben Buckle Super 60 or Junior 60, or perhaps even a Radio Queen in my opinion. Slab sided fuselages and parellel chord wings would have made the build easier. I hope he will be standing at your shoulder so that he may see how things are done. SLEC have taken over Belair kits.They sell a range of short-kits at very reasonable prices. They offer the the Super 60 and the Junior 60 as well as Vic Smeed's Tomboy another model with a slab sided fuselage and a parallel chord wing originally designed for the novice builder. I have a soft spot for the Junior 60, it was my first successful r/c model. I am about to start building my third. I intend to power it with a 2.5cc engine.

I am sure you will have this built quickly with your skills. Looks like a nice plane.

I had a weak moment at the Hobby shop and took one of those home a few months back.

Please don't build her electric

🤣🤣🤣I brought the cloud clipper which is the bigger brother ,great build I have a os fs 40 she is a floater love it ,you will enjoy building this model

I'm so pleased I'm definitely not alone in this world when it comes to getting sidetracked on projects ...... I've not built a balsa model but the idea is growing one me. Very looking forward to seeing this build !!! ........ now I've forgotten what I was doing ❤😉🙃😎 NZ

I'm looking forward to the build video too Mark, it looks like a great kit. BTW was that an iMAX B6 charger that had finished charging in the background?

Strangley enough I bought this exact same kit from a fellow club member at christmas, so I will watch your build with great interest. Thank you.

Very nice, I actually started this kit, and didn't finish it yet. You are going to motivate me! Thanks Mark

That's is a very nice kit, it should build a lovely airplane. We look forward to the balsa dust!

I love building. But I have to say, the kit cost is deceiving because it requires a good bit more. Enjoy your videos.

You've got me itching to get back to the building board 😊

Mark looks like a great kit and plane. Checked out Value Planes, they have some nice looking birds. Jeff in LA USA

Mark, looking forward to your build.

Awesome flying! Sounds like a Saito engine!

Nah is nice but ya just cant beat a balsa wood Aircraft

Eric great looking Bird and flying. Mark nice video Jeff in LA USA

I have a Flair kit for one of those.

Needs some engines, electric is so dull.

Jungmeister

Hello Mark Croucher! Great model and a feast for the eyes. Finally you can see the model in the air! Great video. Greetings from Lübeck Germany

Hiya Mark, how effective is the guild fuel proofer? Finding good paint for glow models is dificult. I have a few unfinished as i carnt decide on the finish, but im considering a trip up to B&Q now. Also do you use the proofer in the spray can or from the tin?

Hey Mark Is that the Jungmeister from Dave Platt 1/4 scale 65" plans? You'll no doubt remember they started life with a 90 two stroke. Then 120 FS and in more recent years even 30cc petrol jobs. Fantastic fuselage and tail feathers design. Just boxes and sheets with decking, stringers and ribs applied. Light and extremely strong and straight. I made all except wings many years ago. Still in my collection of to be finished planes. Avoided wings due to concerns about flexi single piece rectangular section spars (no I beams)..…. Bracing wires would sort it for sure........ But........ Life distracts..... So many of these have been built it is likely to be totally ok. There are third scale plans available too. Just quarter scale resized. Lovely model there. Love your club's enthusiasm just like old days in the 70s and 80s. Anyway thank you for another blast from the past Regards Michael (Syd/Aus)

That's a very nice looking & flying model. Maybe it's been so long between flights - that it can't remember how to start. 🏴‍☠

Just a beautiful aircraft there, spot on ,love it, she is a credit to the man who built it , flies perfectly,id give my right arm to own this ,very nice ,thanks mark for sharing 🤙🤙🤙

Mark, is that not a Fokker D.VII ?

Hi Mark, beautiful plane. Fourstrokes is the way to go 🙃

un bel modello e un ottimo video di un bravo pilota , l'emozione di essere davanti ad una telecamera a volte fa brutti schersi . 👋

Gees , lucky there ,she pulled out nice ,

Nice model 👌

What's the engine? Sounds beautiful

Your Buddy had a great flight once he remembered where to connect the power. Looks like it was a nice brisk day for flying. Jeff in LA USA
