    Here and tent setup. Some rain earlier on but clearing up now. Good turn out so far.
  6. I was an Undertaker for many years and collected a number of folk out of cars and machinery that died because they couldnt get out of a vehicle because of them. In saying that I am sure they save more lives than by not wearing one. Anyway off topic. Jury still out about these Jabs!... Scotty
  7. Hi Lyle...no not flying. A joke since Wayne rescued me when I dropped a wheel bearing in Forbes on the way to NATFLY. Wayne...Jack would think flying down would be the bee's knees! Im driving down Thursday so not sure what your plans would be if you did go. Im happy to pass through Gunnedah and collect all your gear and drop Jack off but depends if you were going Thursday. Havent said anything to Jack so let me know what you decide. Scotty
  8. Not showing them anything Wayne, its just how it is. You going to AUSFLY? I need a break down vehicle again....
  9. Hey I have an idea! Lets follow their example, that might scare these boat folk off... How bout all us brothers happily take the modern technology and acquire some fishing boats from our friendly Indonesian smugglers and make our way to Xmas Island and build a tent embassy. Would have used a Holden Kingswood but they dont float well with all those rust holes now. Once there we can sink piss and get stoned all day. Sit around a BBQ and complain about hard done by we all are. We can annoy the crap out of these head boat smugglers until they try paying us off but knowing damn well we aint gunna stop whinging till we can find some boat smuggling smuck who is trying to win browny points by standing up in front of a crowd of us, shedding a tear and saying "Sorry". Once the magic word has been said we then realise we got nuthin to whinge about around the BBQ anymore so we start doing break and enters and stealing Boat peoples cars/boats and continue to poison the next generatiuons about how bad these boat people were to us. Maybe we can find a boat people family to steal me away, pay for a good Uni education and still bitch about them. Tongue placed firmly in cheek!
  10. You got a pretty mouth boy!

    Well considering the lack of support from the RAA for the NATFLY organisers and the poor attendance this year, I will be giving NATFLY a miss next year. Im seriously thinking of making this my annual aviation pilgrimage. The advert looks great so hope they can pull it together. Might see you there! Are people camping at the Airport? Scotty
  15. 1/8 7x19 galv control cable!
  16. Currently building so didnt vote...
  17. Hi Scott...yes we battled it out a couple of times on the squash courts. Always been in to big planes too. Feel free to fly up this way anytime. We can collect you from any of the strips around here. Have a spare room if you need a place to kip. "Wakefield" strip could be an option. Just need to ask John who owns it. Im sure he would be ok with you landing there. Willow Tree has a decent Pub now too! Anyway keep in touch. Scotty
  18. It is a lot stronger than it looks. Apparently it is a similar or same design as was used on the Jenny all those years ago. All hand made and the same as what is going on my Pietenpol. Scotty
  19. Now THIS is a 1920's undercarriage!
  20. Scott...its not a hard process. I sat through the last 2 years of fabric covering demonstration at NATFLY. Mark (OME) will be able to help you im sure. Hes based at Camden airport. Hes moving house at the moment so probably not checking on here. I think he said hes offline for 2 weeks. If I was still in Oberon I would help you out with it. The most important thing is an adjustable clothes iron and a way of checking to get it at an accurate temperature. Once you have that, its like covering a RC model! Scotty
  21. I thought you were going this year Mark?
  22. Did she ever work out how to get that stain off her dress? She could market it if she could....
  23. Ok.... Sounds good! When do you expect it to see air under its wings?
  24. Hi Pete.....The helmet is from http://www.gibson-barnes.com/dept-293802/Open-Cockpit-Helmets.html and the googles from http://classicpartsltd.com/goggles/brass-mark-49-brown-halcyon-goggles.html Is you Nieuport an Airdrome kit? I am looking at the Nieuport 17 for a future build. Scotty
  25. Hadnt posted any progress here for a while as it goes straight up on my website. I have been building the control system and thought I might have a show and tell post! Scotty
