Ion 1950's Futuristic Flying Wing - Pt8: Radio Gear & Hatches - By O.F.W. (Peter) Fisher
The Ion Mk 20 is a great looking flying wing from 1957, designed by O.F.W. Fisher and English designer and owner of Performance Kits. He was often known as Peter Fisher. The Ion has a 33" wingspan and was originally a free flight model powered by a Frog 80 diesel engine, however in this build it will be converted to 2 channel RC. The original design had elevons, used to give some reflex to the wing and they could be used to adjust the trim. In this build series these elevons will be servor controlled.

Hi Mark. Genuinely very useful tips on how to laminate fuselage stringers. 👍
Thanks!
Hi Mark. Do you have an email address something like that
Great repair Mark. I've seen far too many good models thrown away after way less damage than happened to your Voodoo.
Bought one of these this morning then went on line to see if there was an instructional. Who else but Mark Robinson! Brilliant Mark, as I say got this and two 6mm boards this mornimg. I was looking in the bag for the double sided tape! Hadn't a clue. I'm ready now to produce a blast of 1/4" (or 6.35mm x 6mm anyway). Plenty needed for my scratch built Junior 60 project. Looking forward to milling in to thst 1/4 strip. It's lovely stuff to work with. Thanks for the video.
Great little runner as all PAWs Thank you for posting
Thank you Mark for producing these videos. As a seasoned modeller - I still get great satisfaction watching and listening to your content. Great stuff. 👍
I have the same engine but I don't know how to start, piston and crank was stuck, now piston is little bit tight, not sure what to do
How can the Flysky FS-iA6 receiver work with a 3.7 V 1s LiPo? The voltage range of the receiver is specified as 4.0-6.5V. Will the 1s LiPos only utilize the receiver's voltage range of 4.2 to 4.0 volts after they have been fully charged or will the FS-iA6 receiver also work with a voltage below 4.0 V?
The receivers will work at voltages below 4v, but there is very little current draw so battery can be used mainly in the 4-4.2 range, and just replace the battery after a few flights. Not sure what the final battery will be yet
Can't wait ... Flash Gordon colors red and yellow with sweeping lightning bolts on the leading edge from root to tip ..black accent lines...well done Mark ❤.
Hahahaha, that sounds good, not finalises the design you, have to get my thinking head on and see what tissue I have!
Can not wait to see it fly
Thanks
Excellent, thorough, and fun review. Ballistol and warm water are excellent as well for cleaning. Peace
stunning!
Thank you!!
Very nice! I'm looking forward to seeing it finished. Mike
Thanks 👍
Well you're nearly there. Very nice work as usual and can't wait for the maden. Going through my workshop this week I found quite a few 7.5cc and 10cc tanks from when I did a bit of CL team race. See you on the next. 👍
Thanks for the comment Terry, pleased you are enjoing the build
Hiya, Mark. I don't recall having seen this video. All I can say is, "Yee haw! Ride 'em cowboy!" 🤠
Maidens with these wings are always a wild ride, until you get the trim sorted! hahahah
Wow - I admire your skill immensely - free-hand scalpel work - this is true balsa surgery. 👍
Thank you very much for your very kind comment, really pleased you enjoy the videos
What a great series Mark. Your skill in both the actual covering - as well as your clear - no nonsense - description of the process. Excellent.
Thank you very much for the comment, it is greatly appreciated, so pleasd you enjoy the videos
This 1.5 cc diesel would run better on a 7x6 or 8x4 prop using D1000 diesel fuel for this plain bearing engine.
Thanks for the comment, advice and suggestions always appreciated 😀
😲 hand starting a Cox 0.49 - I never would have thought it possible - Mark - you are a hero. As a 60 year old British modeller - brought up on these engines - this video is a blast from the past. 👍
Excellent, really pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment
For combat flying wings, I wonder if the plane will last long enough for the fuel to soak in ...
Thank you for your time. Do you know someone who can help you in this area and you are accountable? And this may be the answer to many problems in this field and you can even play a clip with that person in this field... And with the experience you have You certainly can in this case Make a great video and save it to your archive so others can learn from your experience and remember it forever. Thank you and thank you.

Add some Black pigmantto the Goooo
The two Marks! Diring the boom here in Ireland I had two second fix carpenters on to the site both called Mark. They called their firm Mk.II Joinery. Loved that.
Just retired getting three stunt 35 going had some in 70 now have 40 yr A 50 yr 🦊 I found you polish that machine marks on crank on counter weight it balance it half the vibration
Nose needs to be twice as long, especially if its electric....Original had a big heavy sparky in it....🤔😏😏🇬🇧
Hi Mark, informative video as always. Will use this method on my next plane. 🙂
Glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment
Hi Mark, I have used 38mic doculam by itself on a couple of small models and tissue over 38mic on a Junior 60. I am building a Lanzo Record breaker, 96" open ribs no sheeting. Do you think using 75mic doculam and tissue may be better than 38mic on this larger wing?
I have never used, or seen the 75 micron film, so would not like to comment, If it was me I would use the 38 micron and cover it in silk, would be so much stronger and appropiate for a larger model.
I'm really sorry My English is not good. And I hope you understand And please answer about the introduction of welding filler with Tig machine. Thank you.
greetings and respect. And thank you for the good channel and your great experience, Mr. Engineer. I have the same red engine as well as the rocket-shaped exhaust, and both parts, the engine and the exhaust, have broken screws, and I want to weld them with a TIG machine. But I don't know the type of alloy and the type of filler of these two pieces. Please guide me what is the filler number for welding. Thank you.
I am sorry to hear about your engin, but unfortunately I do not have any experience with Tig wellding, so can't advise, sorry. Pleased you like my channel, appreciate the comment

Nice! If I'm building a model with exposed wood i like to stain the wood before i fuel proof. Makes for a nice detail. Nice video! Mike
Hi Mike, thanks for the comment, yes staining or painting the wood can look great and works well under the epoxy, totally agree
Great advice, fuel proof...future proof. I use 30 min epoxy in engine bays although I have never thought of thinning it I just give it a blast with a hot air gun on a low setting. Could I get away with using isopropyl alcohol, I've got plenty of that, its a great mixer😵💫🤢??
Hi, thanks for the comment, its appreciated. Yes Isopropyl alcohol will work just fine, I have used it in the past
For many years all I ever used was Humbrol fuel proofer, but I must say using thinned epoxy must work far better and add extra strength. Now I fly electric I don't have to bother. Nice one Mark.
Thanks Terry, appreciate the comment 😀
Great info as usual Mark.
Thanks 👍
soak it in methanol alcohol to loosen up the caster.
Could never understand why they made a 1 cc Sabre ?
Is there a place to buy the model 1350 in the US?
I almost smelled the castor oil...
Hahaha, I know what you mean, bliss!
Some needle valves on the babe bee / black widow have a habit of dancing around a bit (unrotating). I prefer them with a slightly stickier/stiffer needle valve, to stop this. The needle valve spring also helped a bit.
Thanks for the comment, and suggestion, its appreciated
I'd shit myself out of fear there.
I'm in the U.S. and have been 'aspiring' to return to the hobby after a 20+ year absence. Back then Diesels in the U.S. were a very fringe pursuit, though I see more interest in them now. The irony is that, as far as I can tell, there is NO source for the fuel here. The most dedicated have been mixing their own, which is easy enough, but the only way to get diethyl ether is by purchasing cans of engine starter fluid and carefully emptying out the contents from the cans after cooling them down in a freezer. That's a lot of work compared to glow engines.
Fantástico
Nice 1 mark was doing them niggling bits today with the large iron ,pain in the but ,must invest in 1 of these
They are a great bit of kit, well worth the investment
what size of fuel tube diameter are you using? 2mm seems to tight a fit.
I am using 2mm, it is a nice snug fit
Great review, well done! 😊
Thank you! 😀
That was an interesting review Mark. I have had one of those trim irons for some time and was hoping it would perform as per your demonstration but I find mine struggles to get the shoe sufficiently hot to fully stick down the covering. Perhaps I need to give it another attempt.
Thanks 👍
I have the trim iron by monokote. It only has a high low switch and low didn't seem hot enough and high is too hot. I like the idea of this one with the knob. I'll have to get one. Thanks for the review. Mike
Your welcome, pleased you found it useful
Hi Mark, bought one myself recently. I'm very pleased with it, well worth buying 😉
Great to hear!
