Danny, I've been looking at the fuselage build. I will be going the electric route as has been my choice over the last few years. I notice that you have extended the basic fuz sides to take the motor bulkhead further forward. Sarik have cut my side as per the plan so I intend using standoffs to mount the motor. This will mean that the battery packs (2No 3S x 5000) will be behind former one. Hopefully that will not upset the balance and require a church roof load of lead up front. I intended building the wings individually with the centre sections fitted permanently to the fuz. This is the way you are going but Andy S has build the wings complete. Have you any thoughts before I commit? No building tomorrow as I will be out slope soaring providing the SE breeze holds up. It will not be particularly warm up here in Aberdeen compared to those further south. Graham

Good morning Danny. I've been meaning to make contact for the past couple of months but now have no excuse. Last week my supply of bits for the Fury came from Sarik and I have made a start on the tail feathers. I should really have delayed a start until I completed my Brain Taylor Mosquito which has been on the go for four years! There have been several builds interspersed with the Mosquito. Every time I get to a difficult bit I get diverted - this time it is the u/c doors creating the hold up. Anyway, back to the Fury, I have found the many posts since you started very helpful and these together with Andy Sephton's articles in RCM&E have encouraged me to join the build. I know I am several months behind, the rest of you but hope that this will be OK. I do not intend creating my own thread but will continue to enjoy those already there as well as those to come and possible make comment or ask for help from time to time. I made contact with Ernie a few weeks ago and as a result now have the sheet of etched brass parts from DPD directly.
