Hello one and all. I work in a college and have persuaded (it wasn't hard) the lecturers in the Carpentry & Joinery Dept' to let the students build the TN 70" Spit as a project over the duration of the course.  This will not be a flying model, but more a test of the skills they have learnt with a very different outcome to normal (although they do build a fine full size rowing boat!). The end result will probably be more bare skeleton than skinned as this shows as much of the work as possible.  What I would like to do is post a build thread as the project progress'. But as the Dept's plane building and my own scratch build experience is low (3yr old half built pogostick as proof) I need as many build photos as possible to help them along.  So if anyone is having a bash at this fine plane and hasn't already posted some pics they have taken I would greatly appreciate a look at them. Sean

Bill As I understand it, it is to counter act the torque from the prop and allows the plane to track straight.
