I thought some of you may be interested in a few of the RC models created by expert builder Ivan Pettigrew. Ivan is an expat Kiwi now living in Canada. Heres a pic of part of his workshop. In it you can see a Pearse Flyer, Solent and Express, some more pics below. DH 86 Express ZK-AEF "Kotuku" TEAL Short Solent ZK-AMO Pearse flyer, thats Ivan's Safe Air Freighter in the background, some more pics below. Safe Air Bristol Freighter ZK-CRK All these models are electic powered and scratch built. Ivan draws up plans as he goes along and then sells them to other modellers. Regards kiwikid

Ivan has a web site at www.geocities.com/ivansplans/and there is a lot of info on his models here as well; www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=710485He originally hailed from Timaru but has been living in Canada for many years The Express plans are not yet available but I do have his Rapide plans for "someday" and here is a fairly recent photo of Ivan in the cockpit of ZK-AMO

Thanks for the links Shorty, some good stuff there. This pic of Ivan's Blackburn Beverley at the flying field is a bit of a crack up - some assembly required: Beverley's bones: Stunning: kiwikid
