Including spelling? 😁

He might make one for you afterwards.

Thanks Bob! Very handy advice.

The further Savification of my 701 - my father's day present is the handbrake kit. Had to fabricate an extra bracket as the 701 panel is a bit different to the Sav. Went in okay. Now will have to get some more tubing, then I can hook up the brakes.

Now that looks fun. Bet it's twitchy in pitch.

Put another hangar at Duxford.

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.

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.

Sorry if you've already mentioned this, but where did you source the airfoil strut material?

There's not many strips down my way either, unfortunately.

From Bunnings Aerospace?

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.

Do you wear hearing aids while flying? Also interested as my hearing isn't the best and I'll be getting them soon.

Could have been Polly Tickle. Middle name Slappen.
