Too big for me, if only it was the midsize sister. Edited By Rob Fairweather 1 on 26/04/2020 07:42:16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Fairweather 1 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Now relisted with horrendous postal charge ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 This is no defence of the high carriage rate, but a couple of points. As a seller, you want a trouble free transaction, aided by a delivery without damage. Good corrugated wrapping that size can cost £10, with tape and bubble wrap underneath. The package could be sent to the UK by road for £20. Is the Hannibal worth £85 + £25 = £110 + Postage £30 I expect it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Fairweather 1 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Denis, sorry I should have elaborated. as the seller states, £55 is his price for delivery with the Spanish system he has chosen, Delivery to U.K. will be more. Depending on the final bid price, it could all get a bit pricey with the, as yet unknown, carriage to U.K. If you love the Flair build ( I do) and the Hannibal ( love the Magnatilla, lacking the space for a Hannibal) I guess this is possibly the rare time it will be available . . . . At a price as an aside . . . .anyone with an untouched Magnatilla kit, I'm prepared to sell a kidney !

Denis Watkins Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I think the lad at Inwoods is Paul ? Always check there Rob, as he did have quite a few WW1 KIT spares, cowls etc, and may have a lead for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Welford Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The contact at Inwoods is David Handley. I believe composite Hannibal cowls are available elsewhere including Carbon Copy. BTW I have a CAD plan for the Hannibal if anyone wishes to build one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yes, the Cowl is indeed available from Carbon Copy the problem is usually getting the plan. Any chance of me getting a copy Robert? I have an NGH 38 needing a home and the Flair Hannibal could be spot on for it. I will PM you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clubmate built a Hannibal from the plan last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Fairgrieve Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 My current refurb uses a cowl from Carbon Copy. As yet to be painted to match. May do the maiden sometime this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Welford Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Kevin - I assume your Hannibal is powered by a petrol engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Fairgrieve Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Indeed. A Zenoah 38. Think it should pull along nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clubmate built a Hannibal from the plan last year. Brilliant Robert and many thanks, excellent plans. A simple elegant structure rather like the Magnattilla - but BIGGER. Excellent job Kevin and a nice colour too, just be careful you don't lose sight of it on a sunny cloudless day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
