Terry Lidstone
now owns and flies this fine example of the Tornado F.3 built
originally from the Conway
plans by Andy Blackburn. The Wing section has been modified
by Andy to Eppler 205 on which it flies very well in good lift.
2-Ch RC controls ailerons and the all
moving tail. |

Andy Ward has built
this Panavia Tornado GR1 from the Richard Green plans. Model
spans 53" and has an AUW of 3lb. It is constructed using a
balsa sheeted foam wing and conventionally built up balsa
fuselage and tail. It uses 2-Channel
RC to control ailerons and elevator. |

This airborne shot of
Andy Conway's latest Tornado F3 model shows the afterburners
off to good effect! Model finished
in the colours of 56(F)Sqn with a red tail and spine. |

Andy Conway built a
swing wing version of the model, finished as a German airforce
IDS variant.
Here you can see Andy holding the model at
the Llandudno meet and checking the swing-wing alignment prior
to another mission with the Tornado. |

Andy Blackburn built
this example of the Conway Tornado F.3 as his first ever PSS
model. Model was finished in
Solartex and car primer spray paints, resulting in a high AUW
and a wing loading of over 17oz/sq ft.
Andy altered the
wing section from plan to Eppler 205. |

Another early example of Andy's
original Tornado design - this time built and flown by Phil Cooke.
Again, the model was finished in the colours of the Panavia Tornado F-2
demonstrator
Phil is seen here with his model at the
Leek and Moorlands PSS event in 1988. |

Andy Conway holds aloft
his original Panavia Tornado design.
This early model was finished to represent
the Tornado F-2 prototype. The design has since
been refined and increased slightly in scale.
The latest model spans 48" and uses
ailerons and elevator control (fully moving tailplane as per the full
size.) The plan is available from the PSSA plans service.
