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

Well, BB has cracked most of his bones, going skydiving without a parachute!

I sprayed the final 4 coats of paint on her today, only they are not the final coats 
[ moved it into the sun and spotted a imperfection and then another and so it went
So the final coats go on tomorrow
I hope
Got the nose wheel bushed and fitted
As it stands the nose leg is 40mm longer than the main legs but I can over come that I think
Ill have a crack at it anyway
Other elevator servo mounted
And I had some help from my friends

Ok tis done 
another three coats on it today , gardening between coats, but the weather was very nice, 21 deg in the little shed and warmer out, been waiting seems forever for itr to warm up, even took my thermal vest off today
Glassed the last part of the tail plane
So now I have to decide which on to finish next the A10 Thunder Bolt or the 1/4 scale Spitfire

Rubbed it back with 1000 wet & dry and started to polish with mould release polish, but found the crack near the back of the fuselage had opened up again 
So I cut it open and sorted it, I have two coats of polish on now
Now my dam car has packed up, the security doo dah on the ignition has shut down so I need to get some one out to it 100 euros again, this is the third time its done it
SO in the last few weeks My car, hoover, pillar drill, palm sander and god know what else have all quit on me

As much as I love the Spitfire, I feel that it's been done to death.
Why not do one of the lesser well known ones.
(My favourite is the Hurricane)
There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
Electrickery is the work of the devil.
