WMAC Group build - Impressivo

Got up this morning planning to do a bit of covering, problem is it turned out I did some covering but it was to my shed roof as I found the original felt lying in the back garden when I looked out this morning

What colour scheme did you go for ?

Well Jon, now you've passed your Roofing Felt Test, these folks just down the road from me could do with your help to repair their shed roofs - Once they've rebuilt the brick walls and cast a new concrete roof !

or maybe just stick to profilm in future.

Jon, change of mood, nobody picked up on that beautiful Curare of Hanno Prettner's circa 1977 if I'm not mistaken. Now those were the days when there were no computer radios, only slider trims and you had to set everything up mechanically, no electronic tricks. I'm not even sure whether 35 MHz radios were about, I was still flying 27 MHz. You'll remember those days, launch and hope some twerp of a truck driver was not calling Rubber Duck on Citizen's Band, and none of your mates switched onto your channel while you were up. :woohoo:

Hope to get my old Wolfgang Matt's Super Star back in the air this year, built 1977/8, still a retro man me, even then with electric (servo activated) retracts. Those were the days when the radios sorted out the men form the boys, you didn't cry when shot down, just used of few of those excellent four letter words and got out the trusty string bag. :evil: ........MFA Chevron, Gangster, Bullet et al.

Another one finished...

To retain the battery I made a tray from 2mm ply with triangular section balsa stops and a velcro strap. The front of the battery is pushed into the nose where a block of foam keeps it from moving. The rear is held secure with a small screw into a ply plate glued to the floor.
