nope i mean months
quote from the LMA website
“Despite the size, conventional construction is Gordon’s preferred technique using balsa wood, liteply, ply, spruce and pine. The total time to build the model was an astonishing five months. This is dedicated work, and yes he does have a full-time job as well.”

gordon nicholls, hell of a modeller! i recall reading somewhere it took him something like 4/5 months to build that monster has a 17ft wingspan or something insane like that. really the crass is the only thing that gives away that its not scale!!!
still around, i think its on a farm somewhere
i cant really help much, but have you tried everett aero? he seems to have just about anything you could need
lol i went with my dad in his MGB roadster, he looked a little red when we got back, but i dont burn easily so he was cursing my “tough skin” all the way home haha an excellent day out to be sure 😀
hoodie :p
i have no idea at all im afraid to say, just thought id put it out there and see if anyone is coming from the forum, a chance to put faces to names! 🙂 i remember i went in 2005, it was so hot that day i got home and had a cold bath!!! ridiculously hot. i hope its the same this year
Cheers

so it looks like the low power run will be at 11:30am and the high power one at 2:00pm
£5 to get in and under 12s are free 🙂
wow! thanks for all that 🙂 certainly an odd design for a MLG a single bogey, (with what i presume to be a single shock absorber) wierd! shame about the technical archives being destroyed 🙁 i love the hint at the end 😉 ill have to find a copy of that book now
thanks a lot, helped fill a gap in my research
Ben
fantastic news that this unique aircraft doesn’t have to die a pointless death 😀
nice thought but i dont see it happening 🙁
just out of interest, does anyone know what the MLG would have looked like for the 730? ive heard it was going to be a single 8 wheel MLG i just cant see how this would have worked, cheers:)
Ben
ah i couldn’t really see them that well :o, i got a glimpse of one over through some trees would have been nice to see one do a couple of passes over the alcester garden walkabout thisafternoon, but i suppose we technically got one 😉
two spits going heading northwest going over Alcester (warwickshire) at about 2:30-3:00pm
