If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Watch the prop in this kit. If you assemble it as is it'll be the wrong way around. The Hole should go right thru the prop hub & the prop shaft should go in from the blank side, least, thats what I've seen with these, so check yours. They don't make up too badly by & large, prop aside.

Given the date that the search parties set off, it unfortunately looks like this is a DNF.

Give them chance. They didn't leave the pub yet. There's still hope.

Hello chaps... apologies for absence: what had seemed like a minor earache turned into a mind-blowingly horrible migraine caused by sinus infection. haven't been able to tolerate bright light, much less a computer all weekend. Anti-biotics have done their thing and normality is returning...
Is this your sanderling?.

Re: Flies Right Off The Ground (and into the bin) DNF
I was assuming alien abduction, but I'm glad to hear it was a migraine instead...
Sorry to hear that though. Horrible things. Glad it's all come good now. I'm sure a few bottles of IPA will wash away any remnants

Sorry to hear of the Migraine. I know from painful experience they ain't nice. Hope the kit didn't end up in the bin, with your skills set I'm sure you could sort it's problems.
All the best.
