long time since any updates for all those under going treatment I sincerely hope it went well. Me I'm still being monitored PSA reading creeping up but nothing to be alarmed about. My younger brother has been diagnosed after taking my advise to get checked unfortunately has prostate cancer to big to remove prostate so is undergoing hormone treatment to reduce the cancer ( happily not suffering with side affects i.e breast development and a desire to wear a dress. Recent MRI showed the cancer to be confined to the prostate capsule and is about to start radiotherapy long road ahead of him but should have a good outcome. So please get checked you never know because without the test my brother would be looking at a very bleak outcome.

So it continues 🙂 Port wing almost sheeted nav light completed , landing light completed . Ae servo fitted and one flap servo fitted other flap servo will be fitted after wing joining (no far off) and trailing edge shrouds fitted. Inlet ports on wing completed , these were done by laser cutting several pieces of rectangular balsa then laminating and carving to shape plus filler . I meant to show my little homemade tool for creating a bed for trailing edge bed, this was made using 2 pieces of hardwood in an l shape with coarse sandpaper . -
