But for more of my models, have a look at my Web Page here -
Update: added some more information and links to videos, (I hope it works on various browsers) -- http://eflightray.x10host.com/
A scratch built 100" span B-17 -
The thread = B17 Love Hate relationship. Progress report
My first major project using Depron foam, 67" span -
The thread = Douglas SBD Dauntless (She's flown), Now the video.
I like jets, but not ducted fan, so stick the props outside, 59.5" span -

Blog. Isn't that what you say when you trip over a log ?, B..... log' 
A quick 'so what's he done ?'
Started building free flight model kits around 1954, control line 1956, single channel radio 1960, and never left it alone for longer then about a year ever since. And I still know very little.
Well I did say 'A quick..'.
A fair amount of that time flying RC was with IC engines, but eventually I tried electric some 30 years ago, (grossly under powered), but I stuck with it and eventually converted totally to electric power.
To save showing some of my planes in this Blog, I'll point you to a rather crude 'Home Page' I created to show some of the current ones -
My Electric Flight Home Page. ***Corrected to current Home Page ***
It's not kept up to date sadly, (Ok, so I'm lazy), I keep intending to create a better site, one day.
The missing latest model is another 'mad spell' creation. I fancied a go at an EDP, Electric Ducted Prop. Having read about the amount of 'currents' being fed to many EDF models, I just knew I had to do a low current model.
But of course, props tend to be bigger than fans, so.............
There's a thread buried somewhere in the Foamies (Scratchbuilt) forum -
My Winter Project, Update #4. She's wearing a coat.
And I'm still waiting for some flying weather, (March 3rd today), hopefully soon........
Edit- Things sometime happen quite quickly. She's flown.
After publishing that first Blog entry, I looked out the window and...........why not....
Here's a link to my thread in the Scratchbuilt EDFs forum -
My "It's not a Mig 1.44", and it's not EDF but EDP. IT FLIES.
and in post #13, a short video of that maiden flight.
It was cut short owing to a sound I wasn't too sure of, so always land a check.
She will need a little sorting, but for a concept model, I was very pleased.
