T-21 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) The Air Training Corps had a large number of the old Slingsby T.7 Cadet wings and more spare sets of wings(square wingtips)from Cadet Mk.1s at Slingsbys, Kirbymoorside, following conversion of the aircraft to Tutors with the new tapered wings around 1950. Tail units were taken from the old Cadets hence why new build Slingsby Grasshoppers have the distinctive triangular tailplane and Cadet fin/rudder. Grasshopper serials delivered to the Air Training Corps 1952-53. WZ753-798,WZ817-832 62 a/c XA225-XA244 20 a/c and XK788-790,XK819-824 9 a/c total 91 aircraft. First flew 1951. The kit is great but if you want to build a Slingsby T.38 Grasshopper you will require new tail units which can be easily made from plasticard. Looking at early photographs of Eon (Elliots of Newbury) built Etons the civil registered appear to have the original SG-38 tail surfaces. 10 machines were built for the Air Training Corps WP262-271 and these retain the rectangular tailplane as in the kit and SG38 fin/rudder. First flight of the Eton in February 1948. Edited January 14, 2021 by T-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
