Hi All, With such a large canopy this fuselage doesn't need that much planking, with a bit of work with the razor plane & Permagrit sanding block it will be less like a thrupenny bit 😀 Regards Ray

Hi All, As Dennis is howling outside what better evening to start planking the fuselage 😀 with 1/8th x 3/8" strips cut from 4" sheet with my 36" steel rule, best investment ever. regards Ray

Hi All back in the early days of affordable proportional radio sets I learned to fly On the slope with rudder right stick and elevator left on a Sanwa Mini 2 function set £49.99 in 1977, progressing to 4 function in 1981 kept the turning/ailerons on the right, hence mode 1 😀😀 Regards Ray Edited By Ray Wood 4 on 13/02/2020 20:47:17

Hi all, Great shame it's off but I'm sure few of us have any idea of the running expenses of a show are with Regards to insurances and fees to the commercial aerodrome to partly suspend full-size flying for the weekend. Big loss to the model boating crew as they normally have loads of clubs exhibiting 😮 Regards Ray -

Hi all, After the Reliant Regal Saloon and getting married in 1977 we bought the 700es Bug, which was good for 90mph on the clock ! Superseded when I got my first company car in 79 sold it to buy carpets for our first house 😮 wish I had kept it but £700 was a lot of money back then when I bought my first Skyleader 35mhz set for £175 !!! Regards Ray (but I have got the Airfix one 😀

Hi Tony, Yes my first car'ish vehicle was a Reliant Regal Super Saloon, when at college, everybody took the pis* out of it 😀 but everybody quite happy to pile into it when it was raining to go down the pub! The trick to driving a 3 wheeler safely was to realize it hasn't got a wheel on each corner 😀 Regards Ray

Hi all, Slowly making progress, and thought it would be a good idea to take some of the 1/4" sheet out behind the c of g to reduce the nose ballast required , so away with my Gaskin hole cutter we go 😀 Regards Ray
