Hi Everybody I`ve just seen Simon Cockers B52 and am suitably jealous this is a plane i hope to build as a long term project but need help from more knowledgable people than my self; your help regarding a plan, wing cutting companies, etc would be greatly appreciated Many thanks Harvey

Hi Harvey, B52 plan available from PSSA plans service; go to www.pssaonline.co.uk > pss info > plans service and you will be able to email Alan Hulme for details. Regarding wing cutting, whereabouts do you live?

Hey Slopetrash! Good choice with the B-52 - it is an excellent scale soarer, both off the slope and from the flat field via aerotow! ;D ;D The wings for the original you have seen were made by Pat Teakle, if you contact him, with him now well practised in this model (he's made a few pairs for various modellers) then he may well be glad to help. Contact Pat on 01934 822147Incidentally, Simon Cocker has a finished B-52 airframe in very good condition bar a missing wing panel...(I'll let him explain why there is one missing wing panel! ) It is otherwise complete and ready to go, the fuz/tail/engine nacelles are all finished and in good working order. You would still need a new wing but 75% of the work would be done for you! If you are interested in this option, or for that matter in getting any more info on the model in general, you can contact Simon at; FlyersAnonymous@aol.comhope this helps, hope to see you with your B-52 soon! Phil Cooke

Just noticed you guys have a message board here! Very cool I have always liked stopping by your website to check out the cool pics of great PSS planes you have "over there". Hope you don't mind a PSSing Yankee dropping by. Yeah, I know, it's pretty rough flying out here with all the sunny weather but you guys get those nice soft green landing areas and we just have rocks and dry brush I have a B-52 in the works too. I hope to have it done by the end of the month for a contest out here in Southern California. I stole a few ideas from Simon’s plans, but this is my own design. Fiberglass and carbon fiber over blue foam. Need to make them fairly tough to handle the aforementioned rocky landing areas.

Hey dcairns! Glad you have submitted your news on our site - I have been following your B-52 build for sometime on the RC-Forum and I am delighted that you have bridged to the PSSA website chat forum now too!!! ;D Our guys here will be very interested in your design Im sure! Your BUFF looks like it is nearing completion! An impressive scale too! Very nice work! Like you say you have built it in a very different manner to how we tend to build in the UK - I would be interested in knowing what the finished all up weight is of the big beast! Look forward to seeing more piccies of the finished product! All the best from the UK Phil Cooke
