Normans Wot4

Norman has been busy.

Hey Norman, that is the business mate and did not know you were such a good builder well done and keep up your flying as you are doing really well

Hey Norman thats great...Looking at those g clamps and the way you set up the leading edge are you a fellow joiner like John H and me???

Nice building Norman - your speed puts me to shame!
Recommend you reinforce the u/c mounting plate inside the fus' - I used fine glass cloth and 30 min epoxy resin taken right across the bottom and up the sides. So far has withstood my hop-landings.
Looking forward to seeing this baby fly.
Nice work.

Well done, another Wotty in the club, I reckon it's the biggest squadron now!!

Norman popped round to get a few pointers on covering.

Almost finished.




All ready, just the Engine & Wheels to put on.....

Looks great Norm, hope Daron didn't try and get you to do the rest of his ironing too !

Yeah he has done a bloody good job, picked up the covering lark very quick, Notice the LMFC Bill? its what you cut out, I still had one so said do you want this on Norman.. Answer is in the picture I think it helps to finish it off.

Well done Norm..

Looking good Norman.......and now show ME how to do iron-on please!
Looking forward to seeing this fly.
I suggest at least 3" dia wheels (not the diddy ones Wot 4's come with) - I know this is a thing of mine, but I am sure it helps avoid nose-overs, especially as the field is a little rough right now.
Greta stuff.

Stuff n nonsense!! If you've stayed true to the original you'll need to fit ABS brakes to put it on it's nose,

Well I prefer them. Look what can happen...................



The guy over on the right is on his mobile ordering bigger wheels.

Not a relative of yours is he??

Coming soon to a field (and I mean ANY field) near you.....................

You been talking to MC,D

As if !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, I just like big wheels - and slow flying planes.
When/if I do warbirds it'll be Lysanders and Storches (but with extra large wheels).

did you know there is therapy around for all sorts of things these days?

I may be past therapy.
Me on holiday last year (and the year before)..................

They say that people with flash Italian supercars buy them because they lack in other ways/areas?

Why do pilots fit big wheels??????

What's your secret Malc????

Well, you'll have to wait and see!
