I heard that the Germans are facing supply chain issues and may be reduced to eating cheese and fermented cabbage. It’s the wurst kase scenario.

Epoxy, loads of time to get it all square and true. Tiny smear of Vaseline on any hinge pin reduces risk of gluing the pin. Roughen and de-grease the hinges last thing of all and keep clear of the Vaseline. Cyano, flocked Mylar hinges; insert all hinges fully, a small hole into the slot at each edge of the hinge, then use a micro tip and hot cyano. It does not seem to cure in 5 secs so either kick it or wait 30 mins before yarking at it. BTC

He was on earlier this week, in Surrey from memory. Did a Saito for me a couple of years ago; punctual, efficient and very reasonable. If you can’t find him soon, PM me and I’ll have a look back. Our annual fun-fly on Mon Bank Hol has been postponed due to high winds so I may be around. A tip he gave me to avoid having to send him any similar work in the future is to use fuel tubing to tighten the plug as it seems impossible to cross and damage the threads. At the risk of stating the obvious … nip it up with a spanner when fully threaded in. Certainly doesn’t need a new head. BTC

Thank you very much Eric. Something about there being no substitute for experience (yours)?

Went to Pontefract. Passed my B!

Dubro low- bounce? Lots of sizes.

But earpieces impede communication between active pilots, a cause of “incidents”. Better to use the volume control, or occupy the downwind end of the pilot box, surely?

Look at the UKCAA (Classic Aerobatic, not the Civil Aviation Authority) website. Better still, join. Illustrative video recently posted via BMFA.

No. You're on thin ice. I shall take everything you write with a pinch of salt. Better grit your teeth. Get my drift? Anyway, you recall the difference between snowmen and snow persons/they/them/women, don't you?

No cause for panic, but I overtook a snowplough on the A1 Northbound at Boston Spa an hour ago .....

Think there’s one in BMFA Auction next Saturday.

Krumsheid or similar? Exactly the same, we have (now) to meter everything and it's invariably petrol 2st which fail. I gave up with a DLE 20.

#metoooooo.

Just so Martian, the specific thread seems to have gone quiet and the coincidence of the "all nighter" gag and the two lots of poor news prompted me to go "off post". Apologies to GN. BTC PS talking of off-post, heaps of goodies in the BMFA Auction.

Sorry to introduce a sober note here but it reminded me. Two people I know well have been diagnosed with prostate cancer in the last 3 days. We are all having annual PSA tests (despite the reluctance of some GPs to provide them), aren’t we?

That Supper Cub sounds tasty …..

Looks like a space frame, I thought the Mossie was a hardwood monocoque. I recall a family anecdote that Great Uncle Harold helped develop Aerolite which was used to glue it together … Borden Chemicals?

Chris, Typo, “without holding etc”? Might confuse … and did you have to use the “C” word?

The last few posts echo almost precisely what I have concluded and so I suspect have numerous others, judging by the likes above. However in this post, ought it not to read “they/their” (in the correct, King’s English connotation) rather than “he/his”? It takes two to tango. Selfishly, I would prefer it if what start as useful threads were not locked out because I learn from them. Ideally behaviour might be modified … moderators? I am aware that there has been activity behind the scenes and I thank the moderators. I would also go so far as to observe that differences of opinion regarding a specific oil have been rehearsed ad nauseam and might be concluded as a high-score draw and consigned to the junk folder of posterity.

Latterly, yes actually but not originally. Took me 30 years to recognise God’s Own county,

Chap on Classifieds sells neat, compliant labels very reasonably and even though I have and use a Brother label printer, it hardly seems worth it for what he charges; £5 for 20 from memory. I also used a Dymo back in the day, chucked it years ago. BTC

What does HFT stand for please? I thought I understood most rifle disciplines, albeit I've been less active since learning how to crash again. BTC

Allan, have you tried heat, e.g. a Blepharm bag? If blepheritis is dry eye, gummed up tear ducts, I find it very effective.

Do they still use 2% amyl nitrate?

F 15?
