Just keep up the good work Danny. Always a pleasure to follow your posts. I still look over the Chippy build. This one is a close second.

A great video Danny. Wished I had seen it before I put the tape on my Sparrow Hawk

Thanks for the info'. I was looking for something a little larger. Ideally 1/4 scale would be great. I did ask the designer of this example, but he was not able to provide a plan. Such a shame as it is a stunning plane😩 -

Hi all, Not sure if this is the correct place? Does anybody know if there is a plan of the Heston Phoenix available? Having seen this model at Cosford, it one I would dearly love to build. -
I think I have found how to load a photo - fingers crossed. . . .

A while ago in this build Danny mentioned using ammonia to bend sheeting. For my Miles Sparrowhawk build thought I would also give this a go, but was having difficulty in getting a source for the ammonia. As an alternative, I decided to try meths (as I had some for thinning epoxy). The results were good enough for me. It soaks into the wood quickly and will evaporate in about 15 minutes. I'm sure my level of building a far short of you fellows but think the results are fine. I used thin super glue to glue the sheet edges together while using alphatic glue on the formers. With the sheets super glued, the meths can be applied (no effect on cured glue), wait 5 minutes for it to soak in, then start with the pins to fix the sheets. I hope this helps - not sure how to load a photo though. . . . . Ken

Thanks for the link. Just the job. Have also seen some other bits I've been after.

Hi Danny, I'm following with interest, as a Chippy is next on my list. Slightly off topic, but would be a real help to me, where do I get modelling pins like yours? I'm fed up with mine breaking and having to be careful that I don't get blood all over the balsa. Ken
