a few photos of the ka-3 i'm building from one of fred's 1/4 scale short kits. i've taken the fuse frame off it since i took the photos and it's nearly ready for covering. a very nice build, relatively easy for someone thinking of building a vintage model for the first time and it won't break the bank! nice one fred. :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

Nice work Gerry. You're way ahead of me on mine and I've been building for about 2 years!

thanks bill. i'm trying to make myself stick to one project at a time until it's finished. not easy when there are so many models in my head to be built. i'm already thinking of what's next on the list. are you going to finish yours soon? have you much left to do? 'twould be nice to see a few v-tails on the slope next year and it's not that far off you know!

spot on chris. yea, i opened a 'new topic' without looking where i was  in the forum. i think i'm better at gluing balsa and ply than finding my way around these web sites. now then, maybe its all the glue is the problem........

Sorry lads, quick message here. My father in law passed away this morning :( so I'm in the midlands to take care of some family stuff. I'll move this topic to scale section when I connect to the web.
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Fred, I’m sorry to hear of your bereavement. I’d like to offer my condolences to you and your wife on your loss.
Such events bring into focus the really important matters of life, don’t they.

Ger, if you ‘Through a Right Wobbly,’ then, presumably, you must have travelled within a “Right Wobbly” and thereby passed through it. (A highly improbable event, I suggest, given the diameter of your waist.)

What I assume you meant by your expression, was that you imparted (or induced) a sufficient amount of energy to a “Right Wobbly” causing it to gain momentum and  thereby travel upon a trajectory. ( i.e. you ‘Threw a right wobbly‘.) However this too is an improbable event, in my view, due to the fact that Right Wobblies are merely abject terms of expression and do not posses any material form or matter to which energy could be imparted.

Given the above facts I can only suggest that in future you decease  from referring to Right Wobblies and stick, (if you’ll pardon the pun) to building planes!

And before you call me a “Stupid English prick,” I would point out that such a statement would also be incorrect.
I am, in fact, an “Old stupid English pick.” And proud of it! :lol:

Now, what was this topic about………… :?:
