Thanks for the details Dale, are you doing the original 67" span or the revised 69"? -

Dale what all parts were included in your short kits? Did it have all the shaped balsa and ply parts? -

Yes I too had the same question with regards to pricing. Would be interesting to know what (all) is included in the short kit for that price. Maybe I will shoot an email to them and see what I hear back -

When assembling steel and aluminum parts together always a good idea to lightly oil the surfaces.๐ On four stroke mufflers, a few wraps of Teflon tape every time the muffler or the manifold is being put back together will ensure no leaks.
-
Gaskets will eventually fail at some point and that would lead to the muffler coming loose. As suggested by Ken, clean the mating surfaces as best as you can, a thin bead of clear silicone gasket material, bring surfaces together, nip up the bolts and let it all cure for at least 24 hours and it won't leak or come loose.

Get some craft epoxy, the type used for table river. It's pretty thin and flowing, can be brushed on and apart from fuel proofing can be also used for glassing over wooden surfaces, moulding glass fibres. Plenty of uses. Once cured , is impervious to all types of model fuels. The cure time is 24 hours but can be accelerated by periodically wafting some warm air over the coated surface with hair dryer or heat gun. After application give about two hours for it to soak in nicely in to the wood and then go over with the hair dryer every two hours. Will make it hard enough to handle in about 8 hours. Cures nice and hard and sands well

From what I have seen on Facebook, they do seem to be genuine business located in UK and are kitting out some of the older and now not available TF kits and accessories for the kits they produce. -
My first reaction on seeing the first picture was. "What a hideous looking undercarriage for a nice scale job!". That is, till the time I scrolled further down to see the scale undercarriage and the bulb lit up that the alloy job was only for storage and transport. Nicely made and lovely scale details. Hope you have many hours of joy flying this ship๐
