Cheers Ted. We'd be happy to play a part by sitting on the subs bench till such time that we are needed.

Ours is coming on well as you know (mainly by the skilled one at the mo!), and the little mods that are being tried may or may not turn out good but either way we are trying them on a great initial design.

We had picked up an almost new Sachs Dolmar 50ccc at silly money but if everyone else is running G62's we may just go that route too.

Happy Yakety Yak Christmas to all

Shortly to start construction of what will surely become 'the' kit to sharpen up your thumbs before moving on to warbirds.
Really looking forward to these coming together. :D

Steve and Mike must have finished theirs by now?

Mine is still coming on nicely and pretty quickly despite the limited building time I have.

Its also going together very well and after seeing the video of Ali flying Kens its got me very excited about getting it done.

And my canopy needs a polish but my pilot looks exactly like me! :D

Have you dyed your hair again Gregg?
Clear laquer on the inside of the canopy works a treat mate.
Looks like you will have it ready for covering soon.

Just give it a couple of light coats on the inside with clear from a spray can. I used stuff from halfords.
Made a big differnce.
