| Looking forward to some shed time.. Got an ACROWOT nearly done just engine to fit .. then its on to a Ripmax HARMONY got a couple of thunder tiger 46's for it so will start on that as soon as I can, of course got the SBACH that is undergoing major wing surgery but should be back for Christmas along with the NANO that is currently having retracts fitted then its fit the turbine and should be ready to go ... after all that lot are done might have a go a refurbing the REACTOR again as its such a nice flying plane ... should keep me busy for a while , cant wait to fly them all |

| I'm putting a new jet (Ripmax Xcalibur) together for Neil Stevens and I still have my Tigercat to build, a Sebart Miss Wind 50 to repair (broken by previous owner) and a couple of refurbs to do. The jet will be done this year, but the others.......Who knows!!! | |

| I am building a FPV base station, you have already seen the goggles but I have started the case with 9 inch monitor and everything you need to run out of the case. We were only saying Wednesday evening just how Ebay was! and then this happens, I ordered two 5.8ghz fpv gear and Ebay have just contacted me that the seller has done a bunk apparently he sold the same item 40 times took the cash and legged it. Poxy little Chinese tosser. I have to wait another 20 days for resolution. So it has knocked me back until the new year as I do not want to order anything not just from EBAY BUT hobby king or any other due to the xmas mail, you can guarantee anything I order now will get lost in transit. | |

| Not a winter build as such, but a repair job, sent the Stuka engine back for a repair after a on going problem bloody thing came back with the choke shaft broken ,tried to get a new part but no luck ,so set out to make a new shaft. Now i'm not in love with metal work, but though I will give it a go must say I'm very pleased with the outcome. Great looking engine part broken new bit now fitted repaired shaft working great well pleased | |
