    Yes tyres need to be fitted first

    Might be worth soldering a washer at the rear

    From memory the wheels do need a bit of care and practice without the tyre on to get the hubs to align properly any loose flashing from the tyre when moulded needs to be removed

    Brass sleeved and epoxied in place turned down a bit of a old brass lorry tyre extension valve to make it look nice

    Having pushed round various options for the wing tip, The conclusion was it is salvageable
  7. bert baker
    As the wing itself is still unbelievably straight I’ve opted to replace the wing ribs one at a time,1 per day

    It’s a massively oversized scarf made from hi vis material any smaller and it just isn’t worth fitting glad you enjoyed it that’s what it’s all about

    With the recent completion of a few Winter jobs for others and myself it’s now time to revisit my trusty old faithful Probably not time or cost effective but Ha Ho Having cut new ribs and visited the wing tip I have a fair idea of what to do

    We can drop down low into the valley and onlookers from the pits can’t see the plane, then it pops up again

    Took PLM Out today as weather was a lot better, I’ve made no changes to it and as I suspected with lighter winds was so much nicer

    Cheers

    Dunno why it does that, Dunno if I’m doing it wrong, Have had same comments before and some can and some can’t

    Yep sure do, It was a horrible cross wind today and I just wasn’t feeling it, had two short flights and called it a day My son William flew his Stampe today and came to the same conclusion It was the first Stampe flight this year Nice warm calm day would have been better

    PLM back in the air was blowing 17 mph so kept it short it could do with some more weight up front if I’m gonna fly it in all weathers By far the most neutral c/g position I’ve flown would be great on calm days IMG_0455.MOV

    I tried it once,
  21. bert baker
    Now the, No school of flying !

    As PLM is now left for the paint to do its own thing for a while before running the engine thought I would stick with bi-plane repairs and move ACDA a bit mire forward, The Fuz will be fully recovered in next year or twelve but for now needed to cover it for a short term fix

    Think will need a second coat, if it’s gloss finish it must have sunk into the weave
  24. bert baker
    Hmm have to wait to see how the paint dries, may need some lacquer to darken it die a bit
  25. bert baker
    😂 obviously pre auto correct
