Seagull Sea Eagle was created by The Beard
quite why the model is called Sea Eagle defeats me as I don't think it suits ,more of a warbird name to me.This was my 2015 Christmas build alongside rebuilding my Acrowot fuselage but Wednesday night my modem packed up and as its solely available from Virgin I'm of course still waiting.For the first time with a seagull model I had problems with mounting the IC engine .the insructions show it straight but the screw holes are angled and the only way it fitted had the silencer straight down the top of the nose.So I had to change the bottom mount holes to get a screw to fit they were way out.the reat of the build has been straight forward and has gone well fiddly bits get fiddlier nowadays and everything I drop disappears into a bottomless pit in the lounge floor somewhere haven't yet found itIm using a Thunder tiger 40 pro as the power plant an engine I bought new and haven't used for ages

Sea Eagle was an A4 Pacific steam engine! :P

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

A magnet on a stick or a string can be useful looking for lost crews etc/ The floor of the room I work in has a laminate flooring and small stuff bounces about and turns up Where least expected. We call it the magic floor

Anything will fly given enough power

looking for lost crews - - One of the guys at our club was flying his Space-Walker, (second flight) when his pilot bailed out in mid-flight, leaving the trainee, in the front cockpit, in control! We don't think the poor guy's parachute opened, either! :evil:

.
I find it useful to have a powerful magnet on the bench near where I'm working, then most dropped screws, etc, stick to the magnet, rather than vanishing into the carpet! You could put another one on the floor near your feet, as a second line of defense. Unfortunately it doesn't work with small plastic parts! [badass]

Expensive cameras take high quality and thus create big size files.
The most common pickture file format for posting is "jpg". Some sites will only accept that format.
