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

Taking that beastie inside - it looks from the photo that the wing-tips would nearly touch the walls of the two vehicle garage

Janine - both BB and Klippy are Tony!
It's a bit like my model flying club, we have five Johns, and if you count the blue plastic one round the back of the cabin - six!

BB had a good nights sleep last night, he surfaced at about 10AM.
The temperature is quite pleasant at the moment, a bit cool for us but just right for BB
We're battling to program the flaps on his glider at the moment, part of the problem is the tiny print on the TX screen, the other part is being 80+

Tony (BB) did not have a good day yesterday, he didn't even come for supper! He's in a lot of pain with his neck.
The new engine should arrive tomorrow, a DLE 55RA Tony says it has enough grunt. I hope so, he wanted the side exhaust version but I'm worried about the effect of altitude, we are 3,000ft above sea level. The extra power of the rear exhaust should compensate.

BB had a slightly better day yesterday, he started cutting my grass! Still having trouble sleeping, I've put a fan in his room and he tells me this AM that it did help.
The DLE has arrived, I've put it in the work room and I'm waiting for him to notice!

DLE 55RA
Tony can't get the rigging right so we've put her upside down on a straight edge.
The top wing is supposed to have no dihedral
now he's going to rig the Starboard wing to be the same as the Port.
