Hi all Here's the finished bust more or less. The build has slowed down a little as I wanted to get the details on the cockpit area completed before moving on. Cheers Steve NZ

Hello dear friend, I'm looking for one of these 7 plans of auster aop9 1/4 scale. I had a crash of the airplane and I have lost these plan in order to rebuild it properly. Does anyone can help me about these plans ? I can pay for these, thanks in advance

I've heard nothing Ron. Unfortunately but perhaps unsurprisingly, the letter went unanswered. -
Challenging steps coming ahead, especially with landing gear attachments, remember, every part is being created from scratch as in my case I don’t use RC modelling techniques. the idea is to use chino molybdenum tubing for the gear attached to fuselage with bolts. Same full size aircraft techniques are being used

been racking my brains today as could really see on the plan, where the keel of the aircraft fuz front went into the center wing section. So i think i have this correct, as far as i can see, the front keel goes directly into the block. heres the build as far as that is concerned, i have used an old top flight method of bending the hard balsa stick to the plane by cutting slots in it the weting it! .Then of course holding it down with clamps till it dries. been one of those days where i nearly gave this build up.

Thanks Toto and the same to yourself for a good weekend. Sadly the rain tonight continued and I made my way back home again. But Aidan did get a video of Wednesday nights flying of the Sports 40 and tomorrow I hope to get that sorted out. Cheers for now. Regards Aidan.

Just checking to see if any in-line twin owners have heard anything or been able to contact Geoff to see what is happening? -

Well I hope the rain clears up for you. I have a Manfrotto tripod and monopod for my Canon 7D camera which I haven't used for a few years now. It has video capability but I have never ventured into trying it. ...... One day maybe. As long as you have a mobile phone or a pad, they seem to be as good as anything for a reasonable amateur video that can give a decent display. good luck tonight and the rest of the weekend. Any videos ..... get them up good Sir. cheers for now Toto

I've just arrived at the flying field and sitting in my car. It's raining , though the forecast said it would clear up by 8pm. But what's more worrying than rain here tonight is the swarms of midges. They would eat you alive lol. Also they have a habit of flying around the camera lens and as I've no cameraman with me tonight I'm going to use my late father's tripod stand and set the zoom at a relative distance. Not as good as having my friend Aidan here as he was with me here on Wednesday night, but the next best thing. The tripod is like brand new and the date is on it 1969. I don't believe my father used it a lot with his cine camera as it is in immaculate condition and I also see that it was made in Germany. Those Germans are engineering geniuses, anything they make Toto, they make it to last. Really top notch quality.

Thanks Aidan. just off the phone to my mentor. We will be meeting up at around 11 oclock tomorrow regardless and take it as it comes. There is a thirty percent chance of rain from about 11 until around 1 oclock then it tails away a bit .... so I like the odds. A 3 - 4 mph cross wind which is nothing really. If nothing else .... its a coffee and a chat .... better than sitting in the house ...... or worse still ..... decorating, shopping, walking the dog, speaking endless crap with SWMBO .... etc ... etc ....😄 hope the weather is with you as well ..... enjoy the holiday weekend. toto

Graduate ? Anyone heard of it ?
Windsor replied to Delta Whiskey's topic in Gliders and Gliding - General Discussion
Hello, apologies for resurrecting an old post but I’m looking for the plans for this glider. I have an unbuilt kit called ‘freshman’ by Modelair the original photo on this thread looks very similar to the box photo I have so I’m fairly sure it’s the same plane. If the plans are tucked away somewhere I’d appreciate the opportunity to scan or copy them (if allowed) Many thanks in advance -
Hope you get dry and calm weather for tomorrow Toto. 🤞
