Bespoke model combinations

After Joe Cubitt's fun on Lundy with a willow sporting a shortened fuselage I have been asked by a few people if we can supply different combinations of wings/fuselages/tails.

 Yep, we can do that! I have flown different combinations of models and wings whilst testing different parts. The shorter boom of the merlin gives a model a lot of pilots like.

Drop me a line

I'm just back from the English open (report when I have chance). It was good to see Joe Cubitt's willow. The wings and fuselage of a willow 2 but with a willow 1 tail. I have aimed to make as many parts of willows and merlin interchangeable as possible. Fitting a willow 1 tail is an absolute doddle, they use the same joiners.

4 pilots flying willows at the English open, not bad at all

last merlin of the summer

I have 1 merlin left from my summer batch. I've been having a blast this summer flying my merlin, the best sports model you can race I've seem.

This one is the. Blue/yellow tip design, made with the merin's longer joiner.

£450 and it's yours

an intense mornings set-up

A fantastic mornings flying on what's fast becoming my favourite cliff site. The sea winds have given some great flying this summer. The wind direction was on the shortest section of the slope, about 130m. My new willow 2 set up has the snapflap reduced to 2mm and only coming in at the end of the stick thow. Combined with some rudder-aileron mix.

 This might not be the set up for you but wow she was fast. The next race is planned to be the whitesheet BARCS open, a chance to see how the set up goes on the course.

almost the perfect day

After far too long in the car I've arrive in Yorkshire and the hole of horcum. 5 hours of flying with the willow 2 and its time for fish and chips with a beer. It's fantastic to be able to spend time setting up and enjoying the model on a race edge.



Flying in land on a site with a large amount of thermal activity I love to fly in the same space and let the model and turns react to the energy available. A stunning afternoons flying.

Now weather calls! More sport flying tomorrow- not a bad plan b.

2 Plus 2 = Fun

With a new radio and test flying my new Willow 2 it's been a couple of weeks of test flying.



Saturday and a short pass to a loal slope meant I actually got too meet some other modellers!  A bit of a chat and flying is great relief from the week.

  The willows, of course flew fantasticly well.  With very little ballast and some active skies the Willows took the good air and cut through the bad.  My latest Willow 2 should be a good basis for a build pagge too!
