Bill, Thanks for the info on the intake fix. Could u give me just a little more detail on installation? I interested in knowing how you anchor it in your rubber hose. I was thinking that it should be set vertical. Is that correct? Thinks, Mark

Thanks for your recent comments on my paint blog Bil. Ive now painted the flapperons and slats and will start preparing the wings this week. I wanted to do it myself, and have been happy with results so far - a perfectionist would find small faults - and not in just the paint work!!

I may yet get the professional in to do the cowling and the trickier stiped parts at the finish because any "balls up" there will certainly detract from the overall job - and he's already said he would be happy to do so.

We'll see how my techniques improve as I move onto the wings and fuselage.

Regards
