Ooohh yes Dave :woohoo:

OK then!!
Next up is instalation time for the tail pipe, bypass and turbine. Firstly is to cut the rear Aluminium heat shield to protect the upper rear fuzz,next is to make the upper forward ceramic blanket covered with tin foil. The main aim for these is to protect the servo leads for the Elevators and rudder from the extreme Heat from the exhaust, pics to follow.

Coming along in leaps and bounds Pete.

Aerpoxy looks really good stuff for composites but not wanting to hijack the thread. When I was doing European transport I used to pick up small boxes of composite adhesives from 3M France for the aerospace maintenance industry. This stuff was transported and kept in dry ice or it goes duff and I could not come back by passenger ferry due to being classified as 4.1 (self activating fire hazard) Possibly carbon fibre adhesive? The invoices showed it was bloody expensive too.

Any idea what it was Pete?

Aeropoxy is not only just for composite Phil, it's the best adhesive on the market for gluing ply to fibre/glass fuzz's etc and a reinforcing fillet on balsa and ply joints. The only downside side is it's bloody expensive, but saying that if it holds your multiple £££££'s pride and joy together its a good buy.
