    Hi Cliff. Always have a soft spot for Dan Air since we first flew on one of their 727's for our honeymoon to Ibiza in 1977 My dad flew to Aden in a York in 1944 was shocked at how much the wings flexed up & down !! Regards Ray Edited By Ray Wood 4 on 31/12/2019 19:59:45

    Hi Andy, Hope this is readable? From The Book of Miles Aircraft 1943, If you would like it scanned properly and emailed after Christmas from my office let me know? Regards Ray Edited By Ray Wood 4 on 24/12/2019 13:34:43

    Hi Andy, I can't find any reference to a recognised Aerofoil section used by Miles, but to say the Sparrowhawk wings were the outer panels of the Hawk Major M2F minus the centre section. The Dennis Bryant plan would help ? Regards Ray

    Hi Steve, Wow that drastic !! I'm just covering but could add some lightness holes, was your Lipo right up the front? And still needed ballast? Regards Ray

    Hi Tim, Yes that's what I did with Cyano, and used a hot glue gun for the first time to install the fan, go easy when put the second part of the bulkhead in as the fan shroud distorts easily Regards Ray

    Hi All, I recall one of my clubmates trying to hand launch one of these back in the early 80's it didn't want to know ! Maybe with a good strip you could get it off the deck !! Regards Ray

    Hi David, yep I'm having the same thoughts regarding the piano wire push rods, but will give it a go, just glued the wings on 😀 regards Ray

    Hi All, I come from the generation who could watch 30 different RAF types of aeroplanes at Biggin Hill in 1970 ! How many do we have today 4 ?? It was inspirational to us model builders Regards Ray

    Hi Ray, It's a shame your finding the weather a problem, I too have been flying for only 50 years but find plenty of other avenues to peruse but keep modelling, this year I went slope soaring for the first time in 10 years 😀 Let me have first call if you sell your Sunderland 😁 Regards Ray

    Hi All Technology has moved on , I can sit here with my tablet flying a free aeroplane simulator in the warm. Electric flying has also diluted the need to be in a club these days. We used to band together in groups to make a noise, not so relevant these days, there never were youngster back in the day, I was 20 years old before I could afford £175 for a radio set and have a car to get to the field 😀 Regards Ray

    Hi All, This is not a surprise to me all aspects of practical hobbies are in gradual decline as practical skills are not required for many of us to earn a living if we are lucky, I fly RC, float boats & run on rails with steamers all disciplines are facing the same issues, and as mobility becomes an issue and folk stop driving, need I go on, probably not. Enjoy your chosen hobby while you can Glad I took my A test all those years ago !! Regards Ray Edited By Ray Wood 4 on 12/11/2019 15:50:05
