Plan built with Belair laser cut parts Jerry Bates Sea Fury 1/5th scale, British made Laser 360 v twin four stroke. Spinner canopy and cowl from Phil at Fighter Aces. Retracts from Giant Sierra. Just completed and now awaiting first engine run ups in the garden. Will await early spring  after our patch has had a few cuts for the maiden flights.

Malcolm is on this forum so he may see this post and be able to recommend an alternative way to get a hard copy although I wouldn't be too hopeful. By the way the book is excellent as are the others he has written

I have updated a Taranis X9D radio using a MacBook Pro so you should be able to find the required resources. I cannot recall which site I used as it’s over 18 months ago and I’m unable to look for it just now. But I’m sure you will find something that works

I have vinyl floor tiles laid on concrete and electric heaters in my workshop. Main building table is an old dining table I got for nothing and I have a tatty old office chair for sitting on when my arthritis starts to play up

Try **LINK** for the wing bandage. Note that One hour epoxy also gives you plenty of ‘working time’ to spread the epoxy carefully into the bandage.

Once the wings havebeen epoxied together to apply the bandage The method I use is to apply two pieces of masking tape to the wings top& bottom that are slight wider apart than the width of the bandage, then apply a thin layer of epoxy to the wing surfaces between the masking tape. You then carefully apply the bandage using the credit card to squeegee the epoxy into the weave. Once done all over you can apply a little more epoxy and squeegee again. Leave it yo dry overnight then remove the masking tape leaving you with neat edges! You can thin mixed epoxy with methylated spirits but only use a micro amount for that.

Hopefully this helps

Sounds like a good & interesting idea Kevin - happy to comment if there are any models I am familiar with - neither of the two you mention in your post are known to me
