Gimme gimme gimme - I'll even pay the postage!

I know I'm not first, but I might be first one in Cyprus !!

Well, I think I'm about 434th to enter!  Lucky number?  who knows!

Think I should win this.  It would fly nicely in Cyprus !!

Yes Lee, I guess we were.  Shame we can't still sniff it. Seems at the moment I will have to iron-on as I have already bought it now.  However, I may be in trouble when the discovery is made that I have used the iron.  I'm already in trouble for getting PVA glue on the clothes pegs whilst holding some wing-sheeting in place. Never mind - it'll all come right in the end !! Dave

In a similar position to Lee.  I haven't built or flown for 35 years, when it was all 27mhz.  Now retired and living in the sun, and acquired an RCM&E Special last year, with the Spitfire XI plans for a .25.  Decided that it would be cleaner and easier to convert it to electric.  Unfortunately the local model shop guys are very i/c orientated, and have little idea about electric, although they do stock the necessary gear.  Just don't have the expertise to advise.  There are 2 other model shops which I have yet to visit - maybe they will help.  Meanwhile, will just get on with the building. One small note - never did like solarfilm type coverings.  Always preferred to dope-on nylon or tissue.  Shame dope has gone.  It certainly smelt better than overheated solarfilm!!! Dave
