Greg Law Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I know this is an old question, but I have a new slant on it. I was told a few weeks ago that Peter Jackson was behind the new BE-2 that is at Ardmore museum. So I have to ask why haven't we got a BE-2 in the Wingnut's catalogue.? The plane in the museum is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alancmlaird Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 There is a non-flying replica - absolutely spot on - in the Montrose museum. Apparently they used some castings from NZ for the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The Ardmore machine is the most recent TVAL-built BE-series aircraft. They have an original F (A1325) as well as an assortment of Cs, Es and F that they've built, plus the BE.12. For that reason it's surely only a matter of time before we see WNW kits. 3C60085A-0A4E-421D-BB2E-E2744D8994C1_zpsgsfegupu by Zac Yates, on Flickr 7B3BD24B-F257-467B-9E30-8B077C53B2D1_zpss4v788tr by Zac Yates, on Flickr 08D8E33E-4BB0-49D5-AE3F-871FF34940FF_zpsi3mcasvb by Zac Yates, on Flickr 8DA7955D-0942-4CF1-A4F8-B1BEBAEA1005_zpsqerjez8a by Zac Yates, on Flickr 26F027A0-C737-48FF-AFA2-D9F356529937_zpsnbao9nwq by Zac Yates, on Flickr 31FD1301-3B6B-4BD6-8AC1-ABF41ECDC142_zpstnp0n4uj by Zac Yates, on Flickr 80B7C164-E6BA-4A16-B85E-A06D3DF79A0B_zpsclqbf9d2 by Zac Yates, on Flickr 1215AB6B-A6C5-4B7A-A9A2-37FA77E2C3F4_zps4mjkv8ek by Zac Yates, on Flickr 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncletommy Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) If you'd like a little something to while away the dark and rainy night awaiting the WNW release, have a read about this guys project to build an RC BE-2C. The mind boggles. Edited February 2, 2019 by uncletommy Add the entertainment link. Duh... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now back to WNW: where's my BE.2e!!!???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 They flew a C and an E last weekend, I only saw the C though: DSC_0565 by Zac Yates, on Flickr DSC_0567 by Zac Yates, on Flickr DSC_0568 by Zac Yates, on Flickr (it flew with the Snipe, which made for a very interesting juxtaposition of early- and late-war aircraft development) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
