  1. Paranoia is setting in, I am thinking maybe. I guess it was the new message that made me think it was part of the forum. A sneaky way to get people to follow the link. A scammers trick?

  2. My initial thought was that I had a forum PM it also mentioned £1000.

    I was suspicious.

    They are Google ads and I am wondering if they should be there at all.

    I followed another one which took me to a very poor looking page about being paid for surveys.

    I was even more suspicious.

    What relevance do these ads have to this forum and should they be there?

    I've had a message to the effect that Colin of BB is just undergoing rehab after surgery and, hopefully, should be back at the helm in a couple of weeks. Like lots of Hobby traders, he's the owner/manager which is why things have been a little quiet of late.

  4. Hatch cut out and trimmed.

    I have not decided on how to hinge the hatch. I am thinking of using covering film the same as on the ailerons and elevator.

    Plate scribed to the shape of the hatch.

    and from the other side

    Next cut the plate to fit and then build the cowl on to it.

  5. Swizzle Stick and The Ohmen ordered as Sarik have the 10% off black Friday deal at the moment.

    OCD? thinking

    After a lot of deliberation I decided to construct the cowl the same as I did on the Ballerina.

    Light ply plate cut and test fitted.

    Now I have to make the battery hatch, before the cowl so that the cowl can be shaped to the hatch.

  6. Thanks everyone.

    This is my sixth build and trust me I have learned so much, my first build had loads of filler which I decided was not good so my aim is to minimise the filler and ideally use none.

    What next?

    This is the stage when I start thinking about what to build next frown I am tempted by the Swizzle Stick for a quick build and winter hack. I like sticks yes.

    But back to the front I think.

    Cowl and battery hatch to sort out.

    Cheers beer
