Spiffy 1 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Looking Excellent, Don. You are an "artiste". Wish I had the time to carry on building my old Dragon Airliner (and repairing existing aircraft) but everything is at a standstill till I get my house on the market and move (Decorating, clearing junk etc)!

Don Coe 9 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I've heard it said that moving house is the second most stressful thing one can do. I think that divorce was the first. I wonder where building from Mick Reeves drawings comes in the scheme of things? Good luck Terry! See you at the Hop Farm. Link to post Share on other sites
