  1. Well B Taylor has one of these and some kind of engineering degree. Maybe he might lend some comment to your question. Oily. :)

     

    As regards the 26 screws on the F2b :roll: I dont know what to do about that either. Just finished covering mine. Need to instal the Laser now, and buy a gun and some roundels, (thinking about painting them on, what you think?). Jim, what did you use to section sand your struts? Theres a lot of them!!!!!!!!!!! Any easy answer? :idea:

    :D Hi Jim, I like the 3-leg stool type undercarriage the best! Can I get one for mine?

     

    Seriously, you're doing really well, just when do you go to work???

     

    I went to MC Models today to get some solartex for mine, I hope to get best part of it covered this weekend. :shock: Only wish I could get some photo's of mine on here. You'll all have to be content with seeing the finished real-thing when it's ready.

    :D Hi Jimbo! Thanks for the confirmation with regard the Aileron gaps. What I've done is to take them apart again along the leading edge, and put in fillets and re-glued. The leading edge now looks slightly curved! When offered up against the trailing edge of the wing, however, BINGO!, looks perfect. I hope it all works when it is all fitted together! This problem has been worrying me for weeks, I hope now that I can get the Bristol finished for the Summer Season, maybe some formation flights with a good Friend? :wink:

     

    See Ya!

    8) oh yawn! hi jim, well I went to the field to see if it really was windy and raining. :shock: Guess! We watched Charlie and Spike get covered in mud, then we went home.

     

    As regards hinges, I havent figured out yet why the ailerons don't touch the wings at the wingtips yet? They did when they were still joined together, then I cut them apart and glued them up like the instructions said, and now there's this odd gap at the ends of the wings!!!!!!! Just doesn't look right, so I've sort of abandoned it while I try and figure it out.

     

    Was yours like that Jim? As regards the hinges, solartex joints are really strong. My Astrohog has been this way, and 5 years along the road they're still OK. I would imagine the forces on the Bristol ailerons would be much less than the Hog, so you can make your own mind up.

  2. :D As far as I can say, the 2008 Show is progressing nicely. The flight line Traders line is practically fully booked, and bookings are filling up on the Tradeline 2 as well. It would seem that Tradeline 2 is just as popular as Trade Flightline, so just goes to show you what a brilliant Show we are blessed with!

    Roger is snowed under with invited Pilots applications, and is dealing with all these as time allows.

    The acrobatic Helicopter Ace, Dennis Kenyon, has been booked to appear again, so we can look forward to that?

    Something new? We are trying to set up a model train exhibition in the Dray Museum. If anyone would like to display their clubs layout, please contact Sandra Taylor with the details. As soon as possible please. The Dray is huge, with a wood parquete floor, heating and electricity on the mains, making it ideal to support such an exhibition.

    We are planning to put the BRING & BUY under cover this year! :idea:

    F2B

    oh right! did you know that i removed the fuse from your heat iron? or was it that i shortened the element in the heat gun. anyway, be cautious! say hullo to Ali. See Ya! :twisted::wink:

  3. be careful about the noise emissions. don't forget we have an 82db limit at the flying sites. (he said with tongue in cheek!). after 7pm the limit is 80db. I have fitted tuned pipes in the past and found them to be less than quiet! That's a lot to read, some answer! :shock:

    Dilemma

    The Power to weight will be all wrong and you ain't gonna like it. Been there, didn't like it. Props to big for the U/C and so on.

    Anyway, if you've ordered it you'll have to suck it and see. Good luck XX. :D

    PS. Not intended to be a bad reflection on the OS91. In fact, when you've decided to take it out I might make you an offer! :lol:

  4. Anyone know petes E-mail current address? I just spent an hour writing to him, and the Postmaster sent it right back! I've kept the letter on one side in case anyone has recently been in touch and can point me in the right direction. PLEEEEEEEASE! :lol:
