Hi All

After the Hobby-Xpo I had to open the turtle Deck as a very clever person had dropped the wing Jig frame on the aircraft :shock: and well here is the damage to the one bulkhead. :evil:
Sorry for the bad Pic but cell phone was all i have after my Camera has been removed from my Case during my travels. :evil: :evil:

Am sure there be destructors at Barra-G. Check with Noel, Brian Zee or Mike G, else there is John Schraader at Rustenberg or Johan (IIRC) at Parys.

Hi Gavin, at Cyril`s you will probably be doing the conversion in a BB!! Strongs mate. And remember to sit still with your feet. It`s like it was in the army: "Do not speak unless spaken unto." If the aerie does nothing, so do you! Easy. :lol: whatever, ENJOY (^^)
