Looks good, be sure to cutoff the screws on your tailwheel, You don't want them catching the rudder if you have a rough landing. I set my krill yak up just like that. Our whole tailwheel assembly was lighter than just their piece of carbon.

Looks like there'll be a few shiny new planes at Dubbo this year

My camera will be busy

Is yours up and running Devo?

Not this year....I will most likely be having to fly Towball's...I can only carry 2 planes so it will be Tonys and Barrys at this stage...

Need to see if I can practice on one of them before hand this time...last time my first flight on the new plane began as I "entered the box".......

Would like to get mine up and running but time/work is against me...

Yeah we had a few comments today at LARCS on how well it looks in the sky. One guy said (sorry forgot your name) that he has bought the 100cc version in the same scheme but has never seen one in the sky. Think he was quite impressed on how well it stood out.

I also got a lot of good comments on how great our Spitfire looked as well

The wife has gone to her hockey presentation and I'm here with my 2 girls to transplant a receiver and Arabella and Imogen are in bed. At least I’m not going to get "are you in the shed again tonight" or "when are you going to spend a night with us"

Scott,

now is the time to take those once in a life time photos, sneak it into the bedroom, put it up on the missus side of the bed and throw the covers over it and take a happy snap

Cheers,

Jeff
