Fred:
Hey Keith,

Yep, that's about right  :D
I'll wait for Joe to come back from the dead or the Lost island to see if he can do the cutting.
We also need to know how many are interrested (3 so far, right  :?: ), and off we go !

Richard Boyd:
Hi Fred, add me to your list. I will pay you some cash at Mt L. next weekend.

Aidan:
Is there a big bundle of other bits we should get in a group purchase for your design Fred? I'm wondering if we should put together a bill of materials for the plane and do a group purchase on all the materials we won't have lying around? I'm thinking mostly about covering tape and materials for wing joiners and spars.
Has anyone used laminating film/mylar instead of tape on covered EPP planes?


Anyway...Is this the list so far?

Fred:
Do we go for a proto build first ?
I can do it quickly, just to make sure!

For the material list, good idea !
Spars are in 10m tube, inside, the wing joiner (8mm diam).
6mm tubes + inside for elevator and incidence pins
Snakes for the elevator + rudder (fuselage too wide for a push pull for the rudder)
Clevis etc...

For mine, I'll go for a Vinyl finish all over (this is not for combat!  :D ), but you can paint + reinforced tape, reinforced tape + vinyl etc etc of course.
Not too sure of the price of tape in B&Q and Homebase  :?:

Joe?! Where are you ? Available for the cutting ?  :D

A prototype build would be great if you're willing to do it! If it was me I'd probably take a couple of months and everyone would be getting impatient.  :?:

I've never used vinyl. Maybe that's worth a try. Where do you get it and how's it applied?

Cheers,

Aidan
