 I Wasn'T trying to disrespect  any of the aircraft from ww2 ,just that were ever you go in the modeling world  all you see is s/fires,Hurricanes,Lancs etc And yes ! pylon racers ,red bull what have you ,I thought it would be something fresh to get your teeth in to I wasn't reminiscing over old times it just came to me that well! you never see anything like varsity's or val eta ,do you?  Of course going right the other way a MILES M18 sounds good !Edited By taildragger on 03/01/2011 13:47:46

  I wouldn't use any thing other than epoxy for high stress points on your model especially wing joints.And just for normal wood repair a wood adhesive is fine or for a stronger repair cyno is used by most modelers but it is not cheap it is good though.

 To get away from the war birds that i feel have been absolutely thrashed .I would like to see some thing not heard of very much IE:Varsity or Valletta.?  Both of witch i have flown in as an  ATC  Cadet at RAF Tangmere which was a navigation school back then.  Regards TDEdited By taildragger on 02/01/2011 15:52:23

 Sky's look cool,you gave me an idea for my cessna 128 might give it a try see how it goes.

  Very nice ! Bet you couldn't tuck under your arm and carry all your field kit at the same time lol  Any way have fun with it  and don't bend it.

  We get the odd sparrow hawk,Apart from the BBMF and a guy who scoots around us in a auto gyro .

  Damn trees are always jumping out at you at critical point when flying !

 WE were more concerned about our models getting trampled on.

 I had my car broken in to ,only had it a day some one put the driver side window in, I new who it was and told the police  but they showed up about a week later to take finger prints nothing ever came of it  except i was down £120 for a new window and that happen twice by the way , Police don't want to know . But if you got a balled tyre or go over the speed limit they will get you for it because they get your money .

 Well ! We did have the odd day when sun did come out UM,UM,UM!can't remember the exact dates ,But believe me it was sunny.

 The guy this happened to is a gentleman for reacting in the way he did ,had it been me BALLISTIC is putting it mildly.

 sorry if my language was not within f/rules but we are all men of the world , so if that particular word offends and i could have gone a lot stronger but wont ,any ways they ARE.with a capital T.

  Just got my hands on the plan so shouldn't be too far behind you ,Can't wait to get this little baby built .

 I would recomend G/Cod for you'r lekie stuff you can get some good budget motors and esc 's on there ,,If you have a pc give them a brows .Edited By taildragger on 07/12/2010 14:21:58

   While down at the patch on a nice sunny day last summer 3or 4 of us were taking a minute from flying just sat around talking ,when somebody said WATCH OUT.we all looked across the patch and the biggest bull i have ever seen came out of a corn field and on to our patch we noticed he was trying to get to some heifers on the opposite side , he didn't show any sign of being aggressive to us so we just let it go and informed the farmer who owns our patch .

Steve , Just been watching the video ,what a gang of idiots ,Hope you are ok and the model ,I know it makes you as bad as them BUT if the police are not interested  I think i personallyi would find out who they are and give them a sever talking to the only way they deserve, But i hasten to add that;s me.. I wish you good luck mate . TDEdited By Tim Mackey - Administrator on 07/12/2010 14:24:19

  Well! I followed your build from start to finish , And if i can build half as good as that i will be well satisfied, superb model and hope you get many hours of enjoyment out of her.  TD
