Peter Garsden Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Sadly the forecast for the Orme is for rain tomorrow so Keith and I have cancelled our trip - great shame but it would be no fun on top of the Orme in the wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Barlow Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Or without wind! Just looked at the weather forecast and it doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Barlow Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Down to the final touches now and my printer is still in the naughty corner & not playing nicely! Still the new vinyl cutter is very good at producing letters and far faster than cutting them by hand! I had already made the ejector seats, well 4 in total until I was happy with this shape, and the pilots arrived today freshly trained in Hong Kong so after a little brutal trimming out came the paint. One of the pilots hands was cut off just above the wrist and a hard balsa 1/8 sq peg glued inside his hollowed glove... A hole was then made in the cockpit deck... ...and the pilots hand surgically attached to the aircraft with epoxy! The two pilots heads were partially filled with 20 min epoxy then positioned the right way up in the cockpit. This way the epoxy will run down inside the skulls and pool on the balsa and when set will hopefully enable the pilots to resist the urge to escape in the event of a crash! Canopy was also painted but will need a little cleaning up before taping into position! G-FLYY is a Mk8 Strikemaster but unfortunately with a Jet Provost T3 canopy! Nobody will know! So aside from the maiden that's about it. After seeing other JP's flying I can't wait to throw it off a cliff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
