I have been lurking here since March 2009.

During that time I have looked a lot and learnt a lot more.

Today I took the step of becoming a Site Supporter (merry Xmas to me).

I like to build as well as fly and get a lot of enjoyment from both. I did start on a scale project a few years ago, but it really was not my cup of tea. The plan was to build in conjunction with 19 other people a DHC-1 Chipmunk from the Dennis Bryant plan. It really is not my era or type of aircraft so I have shelved it for the long term (sorry Danny), having built the wings but not sheeted them and assembled and sheeted the tail feathers.

This time last year I treated myself to a kit more akin to my type of aircraft.

A 1/3 scale BUSA Pup.

Work will shortly be commencing on the build. 

I have bookmarked all the builds for the pup I can find on RCSB and have gone through them all at least 3 times. I do hope I have learnt something..

I also dabble a little in photography, mainly aviation related. If you want feel free to have a look at my flickr page.

Any way enough for now. Just waiting for my Site Supporter status to appear and I will then post a few picture`s of some of my models.

Prefer the Z62 being a single and less maintenance. Also want to go for a magneto version rather than a CDI.

Of course if I could get hold of a Zenoah G38 and reduction drive for reasonable money that would allow me to swing a scale prop.

The engine is a must purchase soon so that I can adjust the firewall to suit.

If your models are as successful as your photography you are in GREAT shape!

Very impressive!
