aviatorpl Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Are you in Tasmania Marty? I am English but living in Poland. I had a 701 which I sold to a friend in Szczecin. It is and old one, built in'95 but was is a great aircraft and gave me much enjoyment. 3 years ago I built a Bristell NG5 which I flew first on my 72nd birthday. This aircraft is also giving me a lot of fun, "Boys Toys" I worked in Oz for 4 years, near Perth and made some great friends there. One of them has a small farm in Tas and is a Radar technician working for BAE. Anyway, good luck with your 701. Regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, the Bristell looks a lot more slippery than the 701! Kind of like going from a 4WD to a sports car. I had a brief trip to Poland about 12 years ago, it seemed like you had quite a large recreational flying sector there? Cheers, Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviatorpl Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I really enjoyed flying low and slow with the 701 but I wanted to go places before I was too old. This year has been great but my plan to fly to the UK was thwarted by an equipment failure 2 days before the flight. With the Bristell I can make the flight in one day but I normally fly to my friend in Germany, near Dortmund and then fly on to the UK next day. Which part of Poland did you visit? I live about 100km north of Szczecin on the Baltic coast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]37843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]37844[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]37845[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]37847[/ATTACH] Hi Michael, We were living in Ireland at the time and my wife's best friend had a Polish boyfriend. (She's married him since, brought him to Australia and they're living in Adelaide). So he was our guide - we spent most of it in Gdansk, Sopot and drove around some lakes and forests. I remember a timber yard with an upside-down house, there was a memorial to people who were taken on the death trains, another memorial at the spot where Germany first invaded in WWII. Sorry I can't remember any more of the names of places - there was somewhere on the coast with a massive pier, all I remember was the delicious food that was ridiculously cheap, and KFC which tasted like it used to in Australia 25 years ago...

skyfox1 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi Marty here what I found 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Thanks Geoff. Yes I found it on my plans too and started fabricating the upper part (that goes on top of the HT). I found I had to make a little rib - like the front of the rudder root rib - to hold the shape of the piece where it goes under the rudder LE.
