LMA MEMBER FEATURE! We started a series of posts last year focusing on LMA members and projects they are working on. Continuing with that theme, here we have some info & pics from Adam Broomhead who is refurbishing a 1/3 scale WW1 pup bi-plane! Take it away Adam…“The pup is an adfa 1/3 scale kit. I bought the model half way through last year and had a handful of flights as it was bought. It was ok. It was always bought with the intention of making it less model like. So after a bit of a whoopsy as stow Marie's I stripped the damaged wing. There was also the servos hanging out of the wings that needed moving, the servos in the fuz were in the middle of the cockpit with a 1l fuel tank and batteries. They all got moved forward out of sight.Lots of advice from Ian redshaw on painting the model. New one for me using a foam roller, a very effective and efficient job with a great finish. It has a zenoha 38cc with reduction drive, savox servos and jeti radio gear. Covering is diacov and the paint is supplied by Witham motor sports. Paint masks will be provided by Nigel at flight line graphics. So far a very enjoyable process.”Thanks Adam, looks great so far and we look forward to seeing the finished article! ✈️If you have a current build/ project or anything else to share, drop us a message on our facebook page or send the info via email to - trade@largemodelassociation.com. We would be happy to share it for all to enjoy! 🙌🏻#LMA #LargeModelAssociation #hobby #aviation #rcplane #rcmodel #LMAMember ... See MoreSee Less
