PSS (Power Scale Soaring)

MIG 3

 

Built from correx the Mig 3 is a cheap and easy to build model.

These are made from 2 mm and 4 mm correx sheeting and airframes cost approx £20 to build...a cheap and cheerful introduction to PSS model flying.

Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet 

Here is a foamy ME 163 Komet that flies very well. Light weight so doesn't need a gale to fly. It doesn't look like foam - does it?

Hawker Typhoon

Here's an amazing 72'' Hawker Typhoon PSS 

MB-326 Impala

An  MB-326 Impala made from Correx. It cost about £70 and flies surprisingly well. 

Phantom F4K

A Phantom F4K made by Leicester models. It comes with a fibreglass fuselage and a huge foam veneered wing. It has a span of 48'' and is 54'' long.

P51 Mustang

Bought about 25 years ago and purchased in the USA. 48'' span with foam body and wings. Flies in a good blow. Been repaired many times as well as had various RX's and batteries.

Hawk

 

This is the Rivington Hawk model glider - it flies really well and there's a lot to be said for the traditional shape , it makes it fly like the real thing.
It's all built from balsa and covered in solarfilm from the Rivington Hawk part kit
It has 2 channels - elevator and ailerons

Jet Provost

 This PSSA Jet Provost is from a plan and wood pack from Traplett. Only flown a couple of times, looks good but needs work still to make fully aerobatic.

F86 Sabre 

This F86 Sabre was the subject of the 2020 PSS mass build by the BMFA. Only flown once so far and it didn't end well.  There needs to be some replanning of the control surfaces, but it looks good anyway.
