Another great winter build

This time we have Terry Masons Mosquito here are some notes Terry sent me about his superb model.

The model is of the Mk6 variant -cannons and machine guns in the nose.

It is 115 inch wingspan known to me as the Mondeo mossy’ because it is designed to be the largest that will fit in the back of a Mondeo estate with fuselage , inner wing plus nacelles all in one piece( gear down ). I have not tested that yet.

Scratch built from our own drawings. Drawn by friend Bill on turbo CAD and parts laser cut by Richard at Falcon Aviation. To be electric powered possibly with a sound system.

Landing gear home made with welding done by a company in Macclesfield, landing gear door operating system has proved far more of a challenge than expected.

Wheels are substantial and rather heavy. Retraction is by a 12 volt linear servo from a company in Canada. Plenty more to do yet including a lot of balsa ( strip) sheeting. The wings and tail surfaces are being covered using Pro- skin fibreglass sheet from Mick Reeves models. Attached pictures are the best I can do in a rather full workshop- not the weather for outside assembly recently.
