Miss Ashley SP46 coming soon

150919_10151491439066454_1985453684_nComing soon from pylon-line the SP46

There will be two versions of the model, these being a kit and ARTF.

The
kit will include a glass fuz, balsa covered foam wings, all cut wood parts,
installed UC mounting blocks, Alloy UC leg’s and building
instructions.

The ARTF version will be a two colour glass fuselage (red
and white) with red wings and tail feathers as per the test model, the engine
bulkhead will be installed and drilled off for attaching two choices of engine
mounts, all control surfaces apart from the rudder will be finish hinged (you
need access through the back of the fuz to attach the elevator pushrod), the
wing will have been mounted and the fuz prepared for machine screw wing fixings.
There will also be a vinyl graphics set included with both versions.

The
engine installation in the ARTF will be based around the Evolution 46 engine as
we feel this is a good all round engine and being distributed by Horizon Hobbies
should be readily available.

We will offer two hardware packs, one will
be a sport pack with plastic wheels, engine mount, tank etc. The second hardware
pack will be a competition pack, including machined metal engine mount, pizza
cutter race wheels, carbon fibre push rods, push rod ends and all other required
linages etc. The hardware packs will be very complete, meaning they include
everything apart from things like servo screws.

ARTF £210.00 available in early March 2013
Sport hardware pack circa £20 to £25 tbc

Ralph Worman Obituary

We have recently been informed of the passing of Ralph Worman, a prominent F3D pylon racer through all of the 1980′s and into the mid 90′s, still regularly attending the BMFA nationals to get the latest news on the current developments and chat to current crop of flyers.

 

Ralph will primary be remembered by the pylon racers of that era for two things, firstly whilst racing Ralph always had a grin like a Cheshire cat and secondly his models were extremely well prepared.

 

Ralph won the British Nationals in 1985 with a very competitive time in adverse weather conditions. Towards the late 80′s, Ralph was several times a member of the UK F3D team as a caller and displayed a very competitive nature and proved to be technically knowledgeable.

 

I think that I express the sentiments of all of the UK pylon race community who knew Ralph, when I pass on my condolences to his family and friends alike
