Douglas Groutage Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Well done Geoff this is awesome. Can't wait to see your successful maiden. With the weather in UK, will you be able to get it up before winter or do you have to wait for next season? Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Gardiner Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Doug. Hope to get it up before next season but the weather here is pretty miserable, so will have to wait and see. I just had a look at your Blog - it's looking good so far. Have you thought about a paint scheme yet? Geoff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Groutage Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Hey Geoff, If the weather is like ours, in a few weeks the wind will subside but the temp will be zero degrees celsius. But still flyable. My colour scheme is quite simple, the plane is being modelled after a plane my father in law and I hired for a formation flight. (two Harvards). We did a 1/2 cuban and a triple roll. Awesome day. So I have the graphics ready, I will paint the fuselage but use solartex fabric on the rudder and elevators so it looks like the real thing with fabric and sewing. This is an image of the plane after a complete rebuild over the last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Groutage Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hey Geoff, Just reread your first post on the Harvard dated 23/09/2018 21:27:16 You made it...just a couple weeks over one year...so it was faster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Groutage Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Geoff, any news on the maiden? i'll have mine up in two weeks! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Gardiner Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hi Doug, I haven't managed to maiden mine yet. Covid prevented flying for a long while and, at the moment, all my planes and workshop are in storage as I am doing some work on my house. On the rare occasions I have flown it was with something a bit more expendable as I am a little out of practice. Good luck with your maiden and keep us posted.
