And you still call yourself rubbish Tony??? I often wonder where you are looking, certainly not at yourself.
A brilliant build and a fabulous thread. Thanks Tony

Well today i started trying to make the under carriage.
frustrating or what.
i am not a skilled or even an unskilled metal worker.
taken 4 hours to get half way with one set.
i need some braces between the legs yet, but it works. phew.




i will get them finished over the weekend i hope and then i can finish the undersides of the nacelles.

nearly there.

Looking very good Tony a nice unusual design
Get some of Mick Reeves silver solder a small blowlamp, you already have one I suspect
His solder has a lowish melting point, you will find it will transform metal work for you in many ways as it did for me on the Bucker
I wonder how I ever managed without it now,
