    Impressive work as always Vaughan.

    I hope you haven't forgotten about a nose weight. She looks like quite a tail sitter even before you fit the tail fins and engine.

      Thanks Dave the instructions state that you need to add 45g of weight in the nose and behind the pilots seat so will need to experiment to see what works best, there's not much room in the nose once the under-carts there so should be interesting

          Looking really great Vaughan, that is a top paint job on the wheel wells and undercarriage.

            A dry fit this morning to see how much room there is going to be for the lead weights in the nose, as you can see there's not much room![ATTACH]68058.IPB[/ATTACH]

              Looking good Vaughan. You're not going to get 45g in front of the cockpit, that's for sure

              Cheers

              Steve

                Great work as always Vaughan.Looks like there's room for weights just aft of the cockpit.

                    Steve thats exactly what I was thinking, your right Dave looks like I'm going to have to use the space behind the pilots bulkhead. Got a bit distracted so have made a start on the propulsion unit. There are a few ancillary parts but I'll add some wiring too.

                      See what you mean. Mind you, if you had a strip of lead the right size to fit the recess behind the pilot's seat .....

                        Not sure how you did that Vaughan, but you answered my last post before I posted it!

                            That's spooky Dave the posts seem to have rearranged themselves gremlins I suspect.

                              Those Gremlins get everywhere - but they didn't re-arrange the posts. Yours absolutely, positively, definitely went on before I posted mine!
