ben goodfellow 1 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 gary. well i am ashamed to say i have done nothing at all with it . i started a wing a few weeks ago and since ive been on with jobs around my house , i bought a load of wood 2 weeks ago and not touched it yet, anyway looking at your build, im not keen on showing you my handy work . but i do really like the look of what you have done so its kinda spuring me on and helping to keep the interest there . did you buy your canopy fron Vortex vacforms ........fly low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Foxtrot Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Nice job Gary, great scheme. My CAP 20 L build is on hold for a while. I have built one wing panel, well actually 2 as I had a problem with my first one and started again. I have put it on hold whilst I build Dave Royds little Luton Minor, I need to source quite a few bits for the CAP and the LMS has shut down so I will wait until the Nats in August to stock up. I think I have what I need for the Luton Minor. good luck with the maiden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
