But easily the best place to celebrate, she looks well, but, i think those flaps are needed, you have a long strip, good news about the weight, it will be interesting to see what Jonesys weighs when its finished, just an aside here, Steve phoned me about engine trouble with one of his 38s, just would not go, i suggested he check the woodfuff key, and there it was, sheared off, well worth checking if trouble is found with an errant engine, nice model Steve, beer at cosford seems to be on the cards :D
