Oh yes. and do not EVER listen to advice dished out by aero modelers.

Ja Boet
Now and then you get someone that have never build a real airie and then think they are mister AVIATION with out any facts to proof it

[KFA]

Hi Goose, looking good. Have you set the dihedral yet? Those wings look very flat from that angle. Why did you go for the old look cowl and not the nice 7 cowl?

[Boet]

Goose, how many "real' aeroplanes have you built??

Probably more than anyone on this forum.

Boet,Iassume B/B dont count as "real" aeroplanes

Oh shucks HKK!
In my experience, proper aero modelers make very good full scale builders. I think it is their attention to detail and low tolerance for useless weight.

I have build 1 and 1/2 kitfox's

Sorry for the hijack but I totally agree with Mogas.Us modellers know the finer detail!

HI KFA

Only one wing on the plane in that photo
The classic cowl is on my kitfox 2 ,my kitfox 7 SS have the new cowl

[KFA]

Looking good, and from the sound of it a very experienced hand. Keep the pics coming. We are also busy with a supersport and it's nice to compare notes. We will start the covering in about a weeks time.

hold on - im off to get popcorn and a coke, this has the potential to get reaaally good...

gonna watch this one from the sidelines....

[Boet]

Hello Dish, forget about the coke and Popcorn. Nuttins gonna happen. It`s just ou Kotzenmeier with his wooden spoon, stirring around in his own mess. Ga vlieg weer n slag saam met oom Priester man.......

Enough of this nonsense, stop hijacking. The man is building a seriously nice aeroplane here. I was just ringing your bell friend. We are about on par with building experience. Enjoy this one too.

[Boet]

GOOSE!! You still at it? show us some progress mate?

[Goose]

Hi Boet and the Rest

Progress is slow. I only get to work on the "RAMP ROOSTER" on weekends. I must fix all the other Pilots mishaps during the week so now time for my plane

Hi KFA(Stefan)

Het julle enige verandering aangebring by die SS wat julle bou se fueltenk uitlaat waar die fitting inskroef?
Ekt was nie tevrede met wat ek gekry het nie en het die uitlaat versterk. Nou sal die fitting nie kan uit breek of los kom as daar aan die pyp gekaring word nie

Groete
Goose
