Below are some small pictures of a few of our models. Click on the picture to download a larger version.
Adrenaline: Purbeck Sailplanes latest kit offering is the Adrenaline 60 inch slope racer. My example is finished in glass cloth and has four servos on flap/ailerons elevator and rudder.
Minimoa: Peter Webbs Minimoa. Built from an old RCM&E plan this model is of all built up construction and is finished in Solartex and paint. It is almost quarter scale and flies in a very slow and scale like manner.
Stiletto: Phoenix Model Products Stiletto 60 inch pylon racer is a real bargain. It builds quickly and easily and has a performance on a par with other more expensive machinery. A must have for all slope soarers.
Nova: An American import from RnR Products. This is an all glass 100 inch pylon racer. It is very fast and has in strong winds been flown with over four pounds of lead onboard. It is very strong and cannot be overstressed in the air. It just shrugs off vertical pull-outs. It has spoilt me for owning any other sailplane as by comparison everything is flexible - even a bank manager!
Ka-3: Peter Webbs's Schleicher Ka-3 scaled up to one third scale from the Cliff Charlesworth plan. Peter's version is based on the only example in the U.K which is based at the Long Mynnd in Shropshire.
Calypso Contest: A shot of my Calypso Contest taken by Peter Webb on Corndon Hill in Shropshire. Whatever you have read about these machines it is true. Absolutely awesome!
Minimoa: A shot of Peter Webbs Minimoa in flight over Ilam in Derbyshire. Peter has asked me not to mention that he forgot to shape the tailplane before he covered it!
Calypso and Adrenaline: Little and large but both fast!
Another picture of the Adrenaline this time 'cut out' from the backround an pasted on a white background - ideal for desktop wallpaper - mine is prin- ted on a T-shirt.
ASW27: Peter Webb and his Purbeck Sailplanes ASW27 before it's traumatic test flight. One of the airbrakes stayed open and made it a little intersting to fly!
Adrenaline+4: A four servo winged variant of the excellent Purbeck Sailplanes 60 inch pylon racer Adrenaline. Crow braking makes this model a truly versatile slope machine.
Adrenaline+4: Another shot of the Purbeck racer with crow deployed on landing approach
Tony Baker with his Purbeck Sailplanes Graffiti at Ringstead Bay just outside Weymouth. He's got the name on it so he doesn't forget what it's called!
