RC models by Ivan Pettigrew

[kiwikid]

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.

He 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:
