Yep all was good

Sorry to have missed you

Yep was good the wind was a good direction, straight down the runway left to right. I even managed to land without tipping up It was fairly calm on sat morning, the afternoon was a different story In the afternoon We had to land quickly due to full size movement Typically it nosed up and the wind blew it backwards, I managed to suss it out and managed to steer it backwards quite entertaining but the Cowl is now sporting a new vent at the front, Sunday wind was strong, a few pilots pulled out and the schedule was rearranged it worked in our favour both Will and myself landed and soon worked out using a combination of rudder and elevator we could revere them back towards the waiting helpers all good fun

As per normal some need a bit of tinker time A DLE 55 pits exhaust fitted to a DLE 30decided to let go luckily a spare one was to hand

Nice one, that’s the colour scheme my lad wants on his one Ive been pondering if I should put the Laser 150 that came out of one of my Stampe’s a few years back into another Stampe

Coolio What motor you got fitted what elevator control do you have push rod, snake or closed loop

No special purchase for the build. It’s got slots cut into it for the wing tangs

Cheers, Apparently I’m not the quickest of builders

Many thanks It’s got the Zenoah G38 with reduction drive

All ready have a Attila with a GMark 30 twin in it

I had pondered on the old Noddy and PC plod plane that was sold a short while ago, but alas I was to slow
