I agree with ayavner, the music content in many clips detracts a little from the enjoyment, and one misses out a bit on the instructions.
Thanks for posting it Iggy, looks like it was fun and informative day.

MarkJust checked out your build log and it's looking good.
I noticed that the upholsery kit didn't include thermal underwear for flying in Canada.
Maybe you should have lobbed-out an extra few bucks

What I love about this site, there's always somone willing to help.
Now i'm a bit short of money, and yes, i've already seen a taxidermist!

Looks pretty Mark. I wonder whether it's caused by a polarising filter in front of the lens, because i've seen rainbow effects when looking out of aircraft windows while wearing my polarised sunny's?

I know an ex-priest :pope:who slept with my ex-wife and he did wind up marrying her.
She had plenty of money and he'd been on the dole for about 11yrs.
I think it was love at first sight of the bank balance

Mate, I cut through the airport late yesterday and swear I heard a bit of yawning coming from the hanger.
Not sure whether it was from you, or the J170 tired after a big day.

Very well done

Kind Regards

Welcome to this great site, so looking forward to seeing a few pic's especially when it's finished.
I spent about 20yrs rebuilding a Sunbeam Alpine Series 2 which is now somewhere in your neck of the woods.
Work and other commitments sometimes get in the way of these projects, so don't feel bad about how long it takes, as it sounds as though you are now on the home straight.
Good stuff! keep us posted.

A man and his wife were celebrating 50 years together. Their three kids, all very successful high flyers, all agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honour.
"Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad" gushed son number one, a brain transplant surgeon,
"Sorry I'm running late. I had an emergency at the hospital with a patient, you know how it is,
and didn't have time to get you a gift."
"Not to worry" said the father, the important thing is that we're all together today."
Son number two, an English Government lawyer, arrived and announced
"You and Mum look great, Dad. I just flew in from London between cases and didn't have time to shop for you".
"It's nothing," said the father. "We're glad you were able to come."
Just then the daughter,a marketing executive with Microsoft,arrived. "Hello and Happy Anniversary!
I'm sorry but my boss is sending me to Indonesia and I was really busy packing so I didn't have time to get you anything."
After they finished dessert, the father said, "There's something your mother and I have wanted to tell
you for a long time.
You see, in the early days, we were very, very poor. Despite this,we sacrificed everthing and went without
creature comforts to enable us to send each of you to university.
Throughout the years your mother and I knew we loved each other very much, but we just never found the time to get married."
The three children gasped and said, in unison, "You mean we're bast**ds?"
"Yes," said the father, "the worst kind i'm afraid, self-centred and tight-fisted ones at that"!

You're terrible Phil.Love the "chookvid"This has always been a personal problem of mine from an early age. . . . . . . everything I like is apparently Immoral, Illegal, Inadvisable, Downright dangerous or fattening.Bye the way mate, did you and I go to the same school in Wimbledon?
-
So where were you Dazza? Did'nt see you in the line-up mate.I watched it on the project last night. Apparently it is a church.Possibly near the G string?

All your hard work is appreciated mate.

My ex married an ex-priest, so I should really go to church each Sunday to express my gratitude:pope:

Don't know about you? but I like to be late for that one, and the last words i'd like to hear before they close the lid is "geez the buggers still moving"

A Priest was being honoured at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish.
A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.
However, he was delayed, so the Priest decided to say his own few words while they waited:
'I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his boss's wife, taken illegal drugs,and gave VD to his sister. I was appalled. But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people.'...
Just as the Priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies at being late. He immediately began to make the presentationand gave his talk:
'I'll never forget the first day our parish Priest arrived,' said the politician.'In fact, I had the honour of being the first person to go to him for confession..
'Moral : Never, never, never be late.

True story "no bull"

I should get my A into G and get down there more often. Thanks for the info.No - it was light blue with white wings. I know there is one hidden away somewhere there but I have not seen it - may be the one you are thinking of !Alan
-
So Fortyknots are you saying 'You're easy either way?" That'll make things a lot easier for Ian!I favour the old style. Perhaps a half-way compromise is in order, Ian? -
Not the same nurse I once knew, obviously!
-
That must be the silver one you refer to Ian. Nice old plane, but had almost enough dust on it to plant a crop of spuds.
Hope he finds the time to get the old girl back in the air before too long.

I'm with Turbo, and find it a bit glarey from what i'm used to. Personally I preferred the blue.
Glad to hear your wife's foot is OK Nev. Hope the wallet also makes a speedy recovery, at our age it sometimes takes a little longer than it used to.

Haven't been to The Oaks for a while, but last time I was there, there were a couple of Austers tucked away at the back of the hanger looking like they needed a bit of TLC and taken for a fly. (brought back a few memories) Just the smell of those old bird's, is one of nostalgia, like sticking your nose near an old English car with the wood and leather upholstery, providing the driver never smoked a pipe:no no no:Now I am getting withdrawal symptoms - mine has been grounded for two weeks with a broken fuel pump !!-

You think you've got problems?
I bought my NavMan from a lady on Ebay.
The bloody thing keeps taking me pass all the dress shops.
