Ok so iv still not got anything done. been too busy at hospital and feeling unwell. however iv slept most of today and not long since woke up so its going to be a long night and considering I feel fairly good im going to spend a few hours on the xtrim. The sunbird kit turned up today from hobbyking and must say looks to be good quality wood. instructions are better then the xtrim as well haha. Will include pics when I upload pics of the xtrims progress.

Ok so iv just ordered off hobbyking for the first time. fancied an electric glider for some time now so ordered there laser cut kit of the Sunbird Electric Glider. looks similar to the bird of time... also thinking of kit bashing the fus to a nicer shape by rounding off the sharp lines of the fus. anyone recommend what motor and esc and battery to get from hobbyking because im a newbee to elec models. als0o has anyone built this model yet? so I have another model to build after this ones finished.

Gary funny you should say that a nurse was telling me not 3 days ago she had been with her partner and it was cloudy also. \although the day they departed back to uk was bright and sunny with a forcast for a clear night so she was gutterd.

Ps john im only in Barnsley bently is closer then leeds but leeds have a bigger variety, the only downside is they don't like to do discount on big purchases lol where as bently did. especialy when I flashed my credit card in there haha.

sure is john, not been there in a few years it used to be a cracking model shop then it changed ownership and I went once and not been back since. whats it like these days?

ready for next saterday....possibly. although iv just realized I didn't pick up a dam y lead or extension lead, yes its electric which is better for me at the moment because with glow engines theres breaking the engine in and constant messing around with mixture and having to refill etc, so for me at the minute constantly bending down and standing up is a problem at the moment due to a pipe coming out the side of my stomach that's linked to my bowel so I can pump a liquid feed in bypassing my stomach. so electric seemed the less hastle free option for now. by time the cubs done il be in the clear and all healthy again fingers crossed and bending down on hands and knees for long periods of time wont be too much of a big deal.

last time I went into a model shop which was in fact Bentley at Doncaster I maxed out my 24hr old credit card of best part of 1100 quid followed by 2 hard years paying it back lmao. lesson learned very quickly. Colours will be solarfilm transparent blue with white solartrim for the upper. my sneaky way ov avoiding having to paint the cowl haha. yeah the cubs certainly going to be a big build so I thought something like this will get me in the air quickly and brush up a few building skills. I almost bought the wot 4 kit but trying to stay away from glow. small electric and petrol engine for the cub. Im currently picking the cyno off my fingers thinking here we go again the joys of cyno :D

Accuracy of parts fitting are spot on. iv yotubed the model and it seems its been around over 7 years so im wondering if its just a batch of old kits Leeds models have bought to sell back on. as I say instructions are useless but everything fits very well indeed it just leaves you abit clued up as to how far you get before you can run some cyno on the joints to move to next part and so forth. If id have been abit better health wise the fus would be done and id be on the wing right now. anyone with some experience could build this in under 48 hours. maybe 3 evenings 4 at a push, Was it worth 70 quid. il let you know when iv finished building it because the jurys still out haha.

Ok so the instructions are as much use as a chocolate fire guard. no English no description just lots of exploded diagrams with lines in all directions. talk abou head scratching. luckily trial fiting and so on has got me through ok. heres tonights update. excuse the make shift building board but iv not had time to build a proper one yet,
