I went to webbs today but was in so much pain from my shoulder that keeps dislocating i did not feel like having a go at them, but i did tell them i drove 25 miles and they were shut but in the shop, all he said was sorry about that but we have to close because of holidays ?? make what you can of that 
I bought some covering and 6mm carbon tube and a couple of other bit £70 69 sir   i said how much thats bloody expensive  he comes back after checking it £50 69 sir 
I have tried to load some photos of what im doing to the Bucker and they have gone god knows where, iv looked but cannot find them
 iv taken so many maximum strength ibuprofen on top of all the other pain killers i take each day they have given me guts ache and the shoulder is still driving me crazy
Not a good day

My sister was in the UK in May, she refused to come and pick it up!

Perhaps she needed a bigger car? 

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

But Eric it breaks down into smallish 6' sections

Exactly - six foot sections that don't bend! Try getting a six foot plank of wood into a car without a hatch-back! Six foot won't even go into the back of your Berlingo, as it is only 5'6" from the back of the metal cross-frame behind the front seats to the door!
I don't know what kind of car Klippy's sister has, but unless it is/was an estate, there's no chance!
The only way I can get my big 12 foot span e-glider in, is if the nose is poked into the gap between the shotgun seat and the door - the fuselage for that is 6'3" long and about 3" diameter. (The wing breaks down into four parts!)

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

Ha Ha Ha i was just joking Eric it has a 87" wing span but the longest piece would be the fuselage without the cowl on,then take the fin off it would be about 4' 1200- 1300mm
Each of the 4 wings would be 33' 850mm 
The whole of the main gear all takes off, the tailplane has a span of 2' 600mm but i suppose that could be made to be removable 
Bit more on the elevator pushrods

You got me there, BB!
I see you have a bottle of gorilla glue on the bench. I have one, too - but it is so strong it won't come out of the bottle! (It has a fairly short useable life-time!) 

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

Thats why i only bought a small bottle, its a brilliant glue and can be a bit messy but when its glued it stays glued, good for ill fitting parts as it expands

Perhaps she needed a bigger car? 
It was a Suzuki Splash, when she came out here in 2018 she put it into storage (30k miles). In 2020 her life long friend asked if her (50+) son could borrow it for a while. He was subsequently put on the reg as carer. It never came back, when she asked to 'borrow' it back this year there were excuses, (son still needed it etc,etc)
When she told me the story I checked the reg on the DVLA (or whatever) He had sold it to a dealer in 2023!

He said, well she must have wanted me to have it, she let me have it for such a long time! Youth of today, no honour!
If she was prepared to spend months over there, pay for digs and Lawyers! He might get a suspended sentence and only the Lawyers would make any money.

The burning question is, how did they change the registration from Carer to Owner, my sister certainly didn't change it.
