Re: RV & RV4ker's (JCVB's) Explorer Project
Boetie told me about the brass underneath the matt black, but the needles are different too. The faces can be changed, but the needles not. I will check it out comprehensively.
G, I also have a brand new certified Turn coordinator, unfortunately not gold rimmed, but we can maybe use this instrument & have the face redone & the bezel electroplated. There are a number of instruments that came out of our unfortunate Martha, but they are very basic & not the kind of panel stuff I would want on the Animal, what you say????

Agreed. Make panel nice. Panel not huge bucks but makes huge impression.
Also have a turn and bank but boettie almost moer'd me when I suggested fitting it....

Ja Boeta was not vaguely amused when I pulled out the turn coordinator, he had me fetch the old panel from Martha & wants the spirit level installed.

Have you decided to leave open that awesome looking engine or are you going to cowl it Boet?

We want the cowl to stop behind those pots, even though it will increase drag, it would be a shame to hide that lovely engine away.
Good news too, the ship has just come off the rocks, a deal being made today which will result in all the needed funds to finish the animal, spoke to Boet last night, ve haf finished vaiting methinks.

Re: RV & RV4ker's (JCVB's) Explorer Project
Yup, did the deal yesterday, sold two of my Bedfordview properties & after paying off every last debt in my life including giving my ex wife half the value, there is enough meat to bullet the Animal once & for all. The wait will be for a couple of days for the deposit to be paid. I never got my price, but the market is terrible especially in the big millions, luckily this is a cash deal, some okes are loaded to the hilt. It looks like we are about to cook with gas
