  1. Put another hangar at Duxford.
  2. I reckon it will. As I said, there's no shortage of keen and very experienced volunteers in the UK vintage aircraft scene. Despite the broken back there's probably not a heap of damage - wings are untouched and it looks like the port prop stopped before the turnover.
  3. That's a shame. I saw Grosvenor House at Shuttleworth Old Warden about 10 years ago. There's no shortage of keen volunteers to repair her though, wouldn't be surprised if she was back in the air in a couple of years.
  4. Sorry if you've already mentioned this, but where did you source the airfoil strut material?
  5. There's not many strips down my way either, unfortunately.
  6. From Bunnings Aerospace?
  7. Vertical concertina type doors would be an idea. Tracks top and bottom, each panel relatively small so easy to build, just hinged to each other.
  8. Do you wear hearing aids while flying? Also interested as my hearing isn't the best and I'll be getting them soon.
  9. Could have been Polly Tickle. Middle name Slappen.
  10. Hey sfGnome, Groups ZENITH.AERO Builders and flyers of the the original STOL Sky Jeep . You must be a member of this group to view and participate. Discussion on the 701 forum about this seems to indicate there's a lack of information. One poster said the factory told him "around 20 lbs on the rudder cables and around 30 lbs on the elevator" and a few have measured it, but they don't say how. I like the one from the guy who's put 1100 hours on his, he said for the gauge to even measure it feels too tight. Maybe Savannah have better instructions - recommend asking @Kyle Communications
  11. Article about Pitch Black this year. The photos aren't great, but I was impressed that they seemed to get all the aircraft types right, and didn't use "Cessna" once.

  12. That rudder looks inspired by Zenith.
  13. Put a pair of your aviator socks in your aviator jocks. Sorted!
