BB said "Strange ? there are 3 photos but i only posted two, and only two thumb size photos" It depends how you post them, you can put them straight into the post without inserting but I've found it unreliable sometimes.

Do it now, you may never get another chance

Unfortunately we got overtaken by technology and the need to protect against hackers, not to mention this stupid Data protection act! To my mind if you get taken by Phishers and the like, it's your own fault. It's no different to having your pocket picked in a crowd! Rant over. Nice looking bird Tony.

With feathers - or four legs and a made-to-measure fur coat?:lol:

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

Ha Ha, Klipy we have 5 hairless and two with hair, all the same breed, its nice to see them born waiting to see how many are hairless
The hairless ones are worth a lot more money than the puffballs, thats what they call the ones with hair
We have retired the mama of all the pups we have had now,
I love my dogs, much better than people, anytime;)
Still glassing the 104 but having trouble with the cloth, where all the folds were when it was in the packets
are all lifting off the sheeting, ill get over it but means more work
Iv got all the bottoms of the fuselage/wings and tailplane done now, whren its all done ill rub it down and give it a second coat of resin
still struggling for pictures :angry:

Cannot take any pictures now as my ipad has called it a day, nothing working,
An update i that im still glassing the beast, and still struggling with the cloth, it will not lay down on the folds where it had been folded in the packets, but im getting top side of it,
Its a long way round it;)
Also been working on my own design jet getting it ready for the first November when we can fly jets again
I put it on here because i cannot find the thread for it, Mr Pol sir it needs sorting out so we can find older threads please

Last night i finished glassing the three main sections of the fuselage :) and nearly all the control surfaces
Got the nose cone to glass again as its not up to standard, just had enough 4oz cloth to do it
Got some pictures on my new fangled phone but cannot work out how to put them on here, yet

After a whole day sanding yesterday it is now all sanded down :P but the glassing is probably the worst iv ever done apart from the first one i did, dont know why, i dont like to blame the tools but i think its a combination of the new to me resin, they did not have any of what i normally use, this stuff took days to go off even when i mixed it one and one, , usual to mix two to one, i even asked in the shop the mixing quantities, two to one they said, when i got home i saw on the tin 1 kg of resin and .45 kg of catalyst ????
And the cloth would not lay down where it had been folded, i even ironed it first
And thirdly me,
ho well more work with the painting, god i hate painting i always f(&%$ it up
