[Any thoughts on versatile first low wing iC plane]

Add spacewalker in there and no doubt a few others Nigel and you have plenty choice. My advice is they are all good, it's your birthday pick the one that appeals to you. I've flown them all because I do a bit of teaching, if you pushed me I would say Spacewalker.

Hello David

Plenty of time if you fancy cutting your own parts, and i'm with you on the learning new skills

John

[Why am i Chipping in ?]

I never look at it like that mate, the better it flys and looks the more enjoyment I get.

When it flys past I think ... I made that

John

[Chip Shop]

I think so Barry, myself and Ton are cutting our own.

John

[Why am i Chipping in ?]

Me too John

Nothing wrong with looking and flying good though

John

[Yet another one]

That's a very tidy looking model John

You'll love it

Yes slightly but it will all blend in when you put the formers and sheeting on top of the wing for the cockpit area.

Shape those pieces of balsa you infilled wingseat with level...horizontally, then it'll be o.k.

Here's my colour scheme it's the one at Donny, so i'm using it, as it's a good reference. No chance of a good picture of it, too much around it. Got a decent shot of registration though. Wing looks good, I love building wings

More I look at it the more I like it, mine wont get anywhere near most of you fella's, but I fancy some rib tapes, they don't look too difficult. Got to have some rivets and lights. The hinges bother me... how do you fit those and get them to line up, the u/c troubles me as well and the fairings on wing and tailplane, it will be first time I've had flaps on a model also. All new stuff can't wait

Would you fly it

[Chip Shop]

Just a few photo's only taken on a small Nikon. Will try and borrow a better camera for next time. Let me know if you want anything specific. Plenty of rivets and you can just see the rib tapes. The transfer from metal to fabric on wing will be a challenge

[Piper Twin Apache PA23 -150 74"]

It is a bit odd Danny, its hard to believe it was ever round. Is it the one u/c failed on ?

I can go in work clothes next time and get my arm in with some callipers

John

[Piper Twin Apache PA23 -150 74"]

At the widest point it measures 190mm and at the deepest it's 135mm.

[Building ? or Flying? during the Blooming Football!!]

No problem Pete, sorry

John

[Chip Shop]

Just seen them , I can measure those up no problem. Yes it looks a bit sad and not many rivets either

John

[Chip Shop]

Will be going again, anything you need tell me for next week, its behind ropes but they will let me get close I think.

Zips ? I don't know if your taking the mickey so I best read all posts before answering that

Took measurements of Apache i'll post them in a bit.

John

[Chip Shop]

I have just been up close and personal with the one at Donny, those pinked rib tapes are bang on Danny

Got some photo's of rivets for Colin gonna need a big bottle of them though, there's thousands. I think if you took the rivets away the whole thing would fall apart
