David Davis Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Well perhaps not but I never seem to have enough time to do everything! Stevo restored this Flair Harvard in 2015. **LINK** I think he advertised it on eBay, leastways I bought it sometime in 2015. I recall picking it up in a south London supermarket car park when I was on my way home in the two "tonner" to pick up my furniture. It came complete with five servos and a battery. Fitting the engine, an OS61 FS Surpass, was not straight forward but I finally got it into the model yesterday and flashed it up on the Great Mate stand. i need to adjust the throttle throw because I could not stop the engine from running. I had to resort to the old trick of chucking a rag into the prop! Once I've sorted that out and dealt with a grumbling aileron servo, I plan to maiden the model. I'll attach a few pictures of the model later for your entertainment. The model is a credit to Stevo. My French clubmates think that I built it but I'm not going to tell them who did!

kevin b Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Does it matter ? They say if you want something doing quickly, ask a busy person. That way the rest of us have time to do what we want, when we want. I could be lethargic, if I didn't already suffer from apathy. Who says age doesn't have benefits ?

Foxfan Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I used to do it for a living and the sooner I finished, the sooner I could invoice and start the long wait for payment. I'm still quick.
