well. pilot is on his way, being transferred from somewhere - do the Brits have a penal squadron?? Likely some insufferable hoity toity English snob with delusions of grandeur and an inflated opinion of his flying abilities. Angry

Course, that description could fit several Canadians, at least one south African and maybe one or two Yanks.... WEEEEE

Well, committed now, or should be committed, at least have a pilot.. Angry

some hot shot little Scots criminal named Alister McAionish, hails from Kinlochlan, up in Moray. Miserable little twerp, only about 5 foot tall in his Wellies. Shows up here complete with parachute, helmet, goggles, mask. Smiley

I doubt the uniform is "theater" accurate ( or even War accurate) Angry

but likely no one but Mr. Pothier will know Cheesy

Fair game little guy, crawled right into the frame work for a "fit". Looks like I might be able to build a cockpit around his cheap little donkey!! Found a couple threads about framing up a cockpit....give it a try i guess.

Bugger was only in my basement for 1 night and made a friend...what a party Lets Party

My Glenmorangie is almost all gone now Cry

OK!!! Let's stop dicking around here. Made up the tail gear mount (realized at the last minute I'd better put that in before I go much further with the stringers excited

- it could get tight in there. Wall Bash

3/8 aircraft ply, supported with 1/8 poplar - you can see the 1/4 triangle stock inside, and there will be 1/4 triangle stock outside as well. I mean, this IS part of the landing gear, for a plane I hope to fly - work it out.. Roll Eyes

Some effort was made to ensure the plate is square to the fuse.. DuBro 5/32 nylon mount will go on - yes the plate is already drilled and blind nuts installed...WITH EPOXY!! Angry

Probably the "VULCANized" instrument cables....

two more stringers (per side... = 4) and the fuse comes off the jig. Two of the 4 are rough cut and hanging off the sides.

Crap I'm old...had no idea how much stripping the pine stringers would irritate the arthritis between my knuckles Undecided

Once off the jig I have to start on the stab and wing because this fits to that but that needs this to be built so that fits this ....... Shocked

my precioussssss, mustn't lose my precioussssss, I needs my precioussss yessss I doessss - mister Bagginses wants to steal my .......... um Oops
