looking for an inline twin 150 upwards,., or maybe a inline z62,., I was promised a 3w150 but the chap sold it after guaranteeing its mine.,,..,,.!

once the project is started its going to go through the 20kg scheme with what ever is needed,.

Rob
Have researched the LMA archives - I can find no registration for this project so you need to get it inspected before you recover it or you could spend a lot of money and discover the airframe will not be passed.
Ian Turney-White has a similar half scale project on long term build so it would be wise to discuss the project with him asap.

Hello Tony,

I am now the owner of this model,i think it was originally built as a static model that's why it was never registed.
I spoke with Steve foxon over the weekend and he is going to inspect it for me sometime in the near future,all the appropriate work will be done in order to make it safe.

Cheers,Dave.
