BEB, that is a very relaxed approach, you know you are always in trouble, only the level varies. If im planning a full flying weekend, i phone the hairdresser to find out the appointment, log it in my phone. Its totally safe to beep...she is in the hairdresser, having a wonderful time (me..id rather hit my thumb with a hammer) Now you get in first with "your hair looks great, have you had it done?' Hey presto, double points. Now a couple of issues to watch for: 1 Phoning ahead, speak to the dumb jnr, the air head, as she/he will forget your name in a nano second, her hairdresser will mention it before she gets the second foot in the door. 2 If she steps in the door holding the relished RCM&E KEEP FOCUSED Eyes on the hair, If you falter, halt at the line is ok, but never mention the mag. All points safe and secure Graham Edited By David Ashby - RCME on 12/09/2012 05:37:21

Working on a 59" Tornado, lots of design as you go work here, 64" tucano on the other bench. 80" tucano arf waiting in the wings, and i have just lifted the lid for a peek at the newly arrived DB Sports Vampire. woo hoo! Have almost kitted the 90" hurricane so dont want that to wait too long either. AND did i mention....I am plugging for a TN whirlwind Graham

Really lovely Ton, congratulations. Shame about the niggles, Trust that won't put of anyone off a great build. Graham

Just this week i had my biggie! Possums playing silly buggers on the power lines outside my business brought the 11kv supply down on to the lv supply. We took the full force of it, switch board looked as if some one left a hand grenade in it, every thing electronic vaporised, the smell will be etched in my brain for life! Even the light fittings suffered a scorching. Cost? 5 zeros any way. and it will put me back some years. But the good news, I had to test the new fax machine......I ordered the DB Vampire form Eddie and Judy! God, I feel good !!

Posted by Mark Powell 2 on 12/08/2012 15:36:12: Nick, I had expo on the ailerons on my Great Planes OS 91 powered Little Tony (scale model of a 'hot' pylon racer) and on the maiden, when I moved the stick more than a little bit it rolled inverted unexpectedly very near the ground, only a few seconds after takeoff. My great skill (HoHo, totally luck) recovered it. I have avoided expo ever since. Just a thought Mark, you didn't dial in negitive expo by mistake? Have seen it done before. Graham

Like this Garbo? Graham

One day, CS, when i scan my slides into the computer, i will post the pickies! the one into the bomb bay is most impressive, it was only 100ft above me. Ahh...the memories! Graham

Himmm, didn't think I would be into this one, but at 66" ya got me!!!, I'm in...darn it I'm off to re shuffle the bucket Edited By graham kindberg1 on 05/08/2012 13:09:21

Have a great time, Had my "fix" in the late 60's with low speed dirty passes, bomb doors open etc, and the end of display high speed low level departure! (hooked for life) Graham

Congratulations on the build and maiden Graham, don't forget to post pickies of the completed colour scheme all tricked up with decals. Trust you have many rewarding flights. Think you use the same camera man as i do Graham

Posted by Simon B on 31/07/2012 23:12:22: I liked the 1.3m version. I dont want to build the 1.5m one! Any chance of a CNC pack etc for the smaller one? Wow, and there is a 60" one? (And I didn't start that one)

Hi BBC Started electrical apprentice in the 60's ended up as an electrical engineer, so as you can imagine i don't have any issues with it. No, a candle is not a watt. 1 amp at one 1 volt is 1 watt, the current being drawn by a motor is measured in amps. RE:10 amps per hour, perhaps the best way to describe this is in a measure of capacity, eg, batteries are measured in amp/hours. You may have a starter battery that is a 10 amp /hour. It can deliver 10 amps for one hour. Graham

And here's me thinking a current is what you find in a bun, a bulb grows in a garden, and an electric lamp lights your house?

Am almost changed over to XT 60 from deans, I have nearly 200 lipols! so its taking some time. I have lost two good aircraft (70"  to failed deans plugs. Use 6mm in the big stuff though (12s 8000mhr) As Pete B has indicated, a large iron with lots of heat for a short time, I use a Weller temp controlled leadlighting iron.
