yellow submarine

[arthur barlow]

rare few hours in the workshop time to get the Yellow Submarine sorted out unfortunately the original Wing is buggered there's not enough lollipop sticks and gaffer tape to fix it and no time to building one time to look at the scrap pile for a wing and here we go not the use of an old glow engine for to get the Cg right and the model car wheels just for the fun of it and steerable anchor on the back

[Dave Parry]

What has happened to its wings Arthur??? they are the wings from the genesis in the picture.

[arthur barlow]

Yep it is I have it hanging up in a air condition and cencil heated room and the wing worpsed and all the wood rotted away I need a Hannibal wing really but I had the genesis wing so for speed just use what I had

[Dave Parry]

Well you will have to at least paint the wings to match, can't have the famous Yellow Submarine with blue wings its just not right.

[arthur barlow]

Yep but it's a case of fly it first there is no point polishing a turd

[Alan Cantwell 1131]

You’ve got polish?

[arthur barlow]

No have you I have got some glitter

[Dave Parry]

Well I can't speak!!!

[arthur barlow]

I meant duct tape not Glitter

[paul needham]

Now that’s a novel idea for the fun slot at the shows, a flying turd.

[arthur barlow]

well that's 90% of my models then

[Alan Cantwell 1131]

Don’t do yourself down, you enjoy doing bitsas, there’s nothing wrong with that Arthur, it’s all about having fun in the hobby, bet you have more than a lot of us, you carry on mate,

[Denis Brown]

Nice to see a positive comment for Arthur .Well said Alan

[arthur barlow]

Well 90% of my models do belong in the skip like the barn finds t240 I have never had to cut the covering off to drain the water out some of the plywood is like mushy peas

[Alan Cantwell 1131]

They were kept in an attic, they were dry as a bone, don’t get it? Cant ask Ron, he passed away,

[arthur barlow]

It's condensation or something it was the tail and the wing is the servos the wings were rusty and black wire

[Alan Cantwell 1131]

They were left propped up in the garage, against the wall, wonder if they got water in them there? Still well worth the money though, like I said, Ron’s gone, bugger, still, least you got some free projects, wot 4, huge eurobat, supermarine dumbo keep you busy for a while, I will bring the dumbo nose cowl& spinner to the Haydock do,

[arthur barlow]

I yep the high wing glow thing thats good fun at the shooting club and still alive

[Alan Cantwell 1131]

I have no idea what your saying,
