DH 82A

I did not see any " proof " the model was built by Dave Boddington.

Google Web-o- Calc.

I say, chaps, this will not do ! Must not sully the English language with words from Johnny Foreigner !

The old saying " Nature abhors a vacuum ". ( showing my age there ).

What sort of story is it, that someone is doused in petrol ?

Posted by Bucksboy on 21/08/2017 20:26:41: No, and I accept that I could be wrong, the Ambulance staff don't have the legal power to force entry. My point is that the Ambulance staff have been called to render assistance, they would have done everything they could to do this. If one happened to break a vase or scratch something they won't have done this intentionally. So, maybe give them a break? I know that the Staff won't pay out of their own pockets but did they intend to break/scratch something in trying to render their assistance? Highly unlikely. Why do we have to sue or claim for everything? Why can't we be grateful for help and pick up the pieces and count our blessings? I've written this and then nearly deleted it several times. I'm not trying to cause an argument, I know virtually nothing about happened here, hence my reticence to comment at all. I just get a little fed up with the speed at which society wants to blame someone and claim off someone, anyone at all. I totally accept I may be wrong here with so little information but an Ambulance Crew on a call? I'd be grateful for their assistance, they do a job I couldn't do. Totally agree, 1000%

I've been with AOL since 2006, and I had the same Email about OATH, but have done nothing about it.

I see there is no mention of a tarmac or concrete runway.

If using old COG's, make sure you check the "use by" date.

Full size aircraft with "tandem" cockpits, Tiger moth, Moth Minor, Jung mann, Chipmunk etc. balance on the region of the front (passenger) seat so the balance does not alter between passenger on board, and no passenger. So a scale(ish) model should balance similarly.

Its in about the same place as my Stampe and there was heated debate on the position of the c/g for that and yet i have found it pretty much perfect. If we assume that 1/3 of the mean aerodynamic chord is about where you want to be (12.5cm aft of top wing l/e if my maths is correct) i dont think that the 17cm described is beyond possible given the type of model. I would balance it like any other biplane, on the recommended c/g but about 10-15 degrees nose down. You say its 'an handful' but what specifically is wrong? I ask as even with a wonky c/g it should still be quite docile The Stampe has swept back wings,similar to a Tiger Moth, that is why the C.G. is further back.

Now it's looking " scalish", it does need the interplane struts.

Take off diagonally across the runway, the dolly runs on to the edge of the runway out of the way.

As the posh would say, they are " reassuringly expensive" !
