Really hope to attend a weekend next year
At the minute I'm not fit enough for the journey and the climb up the hill
Just wish this long covid would just  go away
on my bucket list is the  aerotow in Cork me and the big 100cc Pawnee

After a bit of work the DLE 111 fired up and after a half a tank of fuel I flew the Pawnee
Amazing the difference a few horsepower makes
A few more flights to run the engine in and I'll be ready to tow anything

Struggling to buy a 27 X 10 prop

Cans finally installed
When I bought the header pipes they came with a roll of PTFE tape apparently you need to wrap the flexible part with the tape to stop it leaking
Just the cowl to sort now and the bridle release

No new models for me this year
I need a new shed as my floor and roof are leaking and it's damp
Shed is 23' X 10'

I've recently bought a DLE 111 engine for the Pawnee
I'm in the process of installing it
I'm also changing the position of the tow release I'm going for a bridle release

This Sunday I hope to put the big Pawnee to the test, I have been assured that it will tow up 4 to 5m gliders with ease

Thanks Ralph
The parts that are broke are mainly fuselage forms and should glue back together when I come to build it and that's away off at the moment
I like to gather in as much info as I can on any of my models
Ralph does the wing have washout, dieheril and top and bottom airbrakes
Thanks

Hi Alan
Yea I've watched the dvd a couple of times now.
Didn't like the way everything is just threw into the box. I've gone through all the pieces and there have been a number damaged
