Hi all It's been awhile since my last post .finally the la7 is finished all that left to do is fly her . Here's a few pics from up the filed and a vid of some taxi runs Cheers Aaron
Thanks Karl .the la7 has taken some time! Not wanted to rush this one lol more like with a young family not having the time . I went for this colour scheme as it was totally different to previously models examples and I have to say I love it . Il keep you all posted when she gets airbourne Cheers Aaron
With winter moving closer I have started to do refurbish my old trusty Black Horse Corsair. I acquired this from Tony Hooper a few years ago and to say its been flown to death would be an understatement. After a near miss earlier this year when an engine cut on landing I damaged one wing a bit, I thought, but on stripping it back found more damage than I bargained for. On top of that I had replaced the original retracts with none rotating units to keep me flying and keep it simple, but having been asked for some Twist & turns by a customer I checked if the Ziroli size units I had on stock would fit. Hey presto Yes, with a little mod here and there they fit a dream with all of the rotating mechanism below the skins. I have uprated the spars and fully sheeted the wing during the repair. I will fully sheet the top of the wing also and carry out the mods on the other panel. I intend to glass the airframe and paint it in the Gray Navy scheme
It's been a while since I posted anything on the LA7 .finally it got wind beneath it's wing and had two good flights. A couple of things that needed to be sorted and is no ready for its next flights https://youtu.be/YimVZBrgSzE
