This is a Stuart Mackay 25% Pitts Model 12 that’s unfortunately suffered during house move. This is the bare unflown airframe that is solid but it will need a new tail (stabs, elevator and rudder), wing tubes and recovering. It’ll take anything from a 120 to a 250 radial and should come in under 20kg depending on power plant. Will make a great winter project for a builder but I’ve just lost interest in building a giant Pitts

I had a couple of messages pointing me to other people but no responses via email. Anyone on here with some Bordeaux Red off cuts?

Looking for a partial roll or even scraps to patch some hangar rash.

Ivel MAC invited us over to fly last week on one of the nicest veinings in weeks. Their local paparazzi got a nice pic of my Fox landing.

It logs me out each and every time I navigate away from the page.

Thanks guys, some good recommendations here. I like the looks of the Tasman and EZ so I’ll keep my out out for a good deal. Yeah, he’s 5 and probably borderline for learning to fly. But he’s keen, and I wasn’t much older when I learned. I don’t want to push him into it, but when he asks I want to have a dedicated trainer the he can fly. Even if it means he just bangs the sticks around for now. He’s got some depron chuck gliders that he takes out to the field with me. And if he’s having fun too, that’s all that matters. Update: he just explained to my wife that “I didn’t crash daddy’s airplane, daddy let me crash his airplane”. And unprompted explained that “we need to go buy a new one”!

So today I entered into the market for a new trainer. This Arising Star was about 15-years old and on its last legs when I decided to start training my 5-year old on it. He’s developing his fine motor skills and mostly bangs the sticks around on buddy box. This morning he put it into a power dive from about 150 ft and just as I took back control the wings folded and it did it’s best impression of a badger. Now I learned to fly in the 80’s so I’m not up to speed with the modern crop of trainers so I’m asking you fine folks for some recommendations. I think I’d like to find an electric foamy for ease of set up. One that’s large enough that I can see it and will handle the wind a bit better than the park flyers, but stable enough that he’ll get some rewarding flights out of it and enjoy the experience. I’ve been having a great time recently with an FMS Fox which may be clouding my judgement. So I’m thinking a powered glider like my Fox, or something more traditional like a Carbon Cub, or maybe a bespoke trainer like a Bixler pusher? I fly Futaba so I’d rather not join the cult of Spektrum if I can avoid it. What’re your thoughts?

Don’t know who came up with the idea, but these with a keyboard stand are superb! Thank you very much!

Any links to the stands?
