    This is fully air conditioned, the weather inside is always the same as outside except when it is cold when it is even colder inside.

    Sounds like my barn , freezing cold in summer , worse in winter , just like microlighting but cheaper . Only time you get a heat is when somebody is welding , then you tend to find people running around with lit thinners rags poking out of their back pockets , too cold – too hot , can’t keep some people happy at all !!:D

    [B]This is the sort of thing I found inside. Note how the frame has been painted without taking off the pulleys. I also found that the frame had been painted around the stringers.

    This photo actually takes me back to my batchelor pad days of painting round the pictures ‘cos I couldn’t afford more paint !!:D

    The engine looks superb Melvyn , do Vintech ground run it when you have finished assembling it or is that left to you ??. To be honest flying doesn’t interest me too much – however the engineering behind it all fascinates me , the work in that engine is to good to be hidden behind a cowling – will it be left uncowled ??

    Flying in them counts too Neal so post away , although I suspect we have seen your face somewhere before ?? , in the front seat of a modern yellow/blue thingy perhaps ?? , any good shots of the Jodel ???.

    Melvyn whats the motor – a Warner Scarab ?? or an Alvis ?? , interesting – any further info ???
