« on: February 19, 2024, 14:39:09 PM »
Hello Everyone,
just to give you all a heads up that club subs are back again this year at the cost to you of 10 Euro.
Payment at the first meeting next month in Mount L or I can take electronic payments which may suit some of you.
This is required to rejoin MACI, so please contact me if you wish to pay but wont make the March meeting.
Many thanks
Ralph

Well a long time coming. My 20+year old Mibo Swift is in for a good cleanup. Hopefully I will get some inspiration and encouragement here.
Started by stripping the wings to recover. I hate this job....

Aerotow / Frisch Wilga restoration
« on: October 15, 2022, 16:36:50 PM »
About 2 years ago I was asked to find homes for a bunch of large powered planes and I thought to my self, how hard could that be?
Anyway the Wilga was to go to Fred but alas when he saw the size of it, he retreated.
So about 2 weeks ago I though I would cut the tailplane off and put it in my attic, with the many wonders that are already stored there. then I decided to take the UC off and now I have decided to refurbish it and hopefully fly next year as a tug.
Here are some pictures of the work so far.....
