Hi All
I've been on Avcom for a while now. But I just saw the Bushbaby drivers/builders are quite active over here!
So, here I am!! Hope to learn lots from the clever people, laugh at (or is it, WITH) the funny people and just enjoy our passion: FLYING
I own Bushbaby (to be) sn 087. I finished the first 70% of the project, but thanks to work and family commitments, will Monty J complete the final 70%. For those who are interested, a 912S will be pulling upfront, together with a 72" 3 blade Warp drive. Right at the back will be a tiny tail wheel. Hopefully we'll be flying within the next eight weeks or so.
Will (try) to post a few pics soon.
Happy to be hear....

The first 90% takes 90% of the time.
The remaining 10% takes 90% of the time.
Huge welcome and enjoy.

Am still thinking about the military roundels on top/underneath the wings. Worried it will look over the top; any comments?
And a number on the sides of the fuselage? I have one in mind if I go that way. (7177)

Normal project management work on the basis that you finish the first 80% of the job in 20% of the time, and the last 20% normally would take about 80% of the time.
Welcome zazu, hope you enjoy it here. I don't care how you paint your airie, as long as you post lots of pics of plane and trip.
Regards,

70/70!, 90/90!, 10/90!, 80/20! What the heck
As long as it get finished, then we can keep it simple, blue at the top, and the rest at the bottom. (well, sort of)
Thanks for the welcoming.
