One For Nigel !!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINI-SEA-FURY-...QQcmdZViewItem

Get on e-bay and bid for them, they can always be scaled up to whatever size you want for R/C (it's not difficult) and you can truly have you very own really large Sea Fury !! These plans are for a 38" Span model for R/C and with your expertise, I am sure you could do this model Justice !!

Not sure If I have these in my plans archives somewhere myself but if I do they will be winging their way to you. (I have a funny feeling I do have these too)

Regards....Mark.

Hi Richard,

Semi-scale generally means it looks like the aircraft it is supposed to be, sometimes with small deviations on wingspan etc but not always, sometimes it just means it hasn't been done with the full scale details but that is not out of reach of most of us on here if they want to go the full hog and do it.
Many Semi-Scale models are easily converted to Proper scale models with very little extra work.....Semi-Scale is a nice easy way of building a nice easy pleasing looking model and still looking like the subject it is supposed to represent.

I know I have these plans somewhere and they are proper scale too !!!

Regards....Mark

No Problem Nigel,

As soon as I get the chance I will check My archives (In the loft at my Parents house) If I do have the Original Mag with Plans there I will Gladly forward them to you. I have a very strong feeling I do have these ones but for a larger and more scale version than the one on e-bay.

Will keep you posted....I should be able to check sometime in the next couple of days.

Regards.......Mark.

***It is semi scale,in other words there are compromises to scale fidelity,quite common with these plans,but it is a fine model which needs scaling up as Bluewave says,otherwise the wing loading is a trifle high to that small size.
