Fancy the idea of a gyro in it ??

Saturday was lovely..little or no wind. Even the midges were out, ouch. Couple of flights with the Wot4XL until the Dle started to play up. I suspect it’s and air leak from one of the gaskets between the carb and Reed block

Interesting responses....I read them all

Not heard of that.....I’ll look some up. Good job!

This is for a multi engine model....I would lie awake at night worrying !!

Brian the builder is suffering I’ll health at the moment. The project is on hold until he recovers. I wish him a speedy recovery x

Looking at other good alternatives to Dubro barb fittings for 1/8” brass tube. I was looking at silicon tube clamps, they’re not cheap now! Does anyone use wire for fixing on the tubing? I got a 100m or so of plastic coated garden wire. Is that suitable? I’ve found this on eBay.

No thanks...........my system is regular 🤢

I’ve got some Dubro tanks spare, didn’t want to buy new. The Slec tanks were good, although draining them was a pain, unless you put the plane on its back. The Dubros will give me the advantage of getting two clunks in to make de fuelling much easier. Won’t cost a penny but i think it’s nice to modify to make life easier. Will see see how it goes. After 9/10 mins I found that there wasn’t very much spare fuel anyway. The head had to be heated as the liner was stuck to it. Picture of the ruined liner

Finally had to take the engines out of the DA. Port engine refused to start on Saturday. After stripping it, I found that the surface coating had peeled form the liner...not good, and the bearings were bad. Surprising really as I’d always been scrupulous about running the engines dry and adding after run. They’d always started first time. Just eninges still have spares in stock for my Irvine 40 Mk IV. Should arrive in a day or so. I’ve also added some landing lights, ( a bit of bling never hurt anyone). I’ll post when it’s all back together Oh, also thinking of adding Dubro 10oz tanks but surgery may be needed....keep you posted!

Nor me!.....stand closer?

I visited Perransands Holiday Park before Christmas. Asking if our club could slope soar with permission, ( knowing that paragliding is flown off the dunes). The answer was no. I asked Cornwall Council for permission to slope off East Pentire Headland during the winter months. The answer was no. I've heard nothing yet about St Agnes. I’m letting someone else work that problem.

Swan Vesta matchbox........striking design. What’s brown and sticky? A stick

She is pretty...I’m in love

Finally, a few days holiday with good weather . 40% Pilot RC Pitts I forgot to take a photo at the field ..... so I’ve used a stock image

Busy boy....do you ever get to sleep !
