Hi Paul that will be good come any time the paint is bad it was painted with house paint it is flaking off l am stripping the hole aircraft.

l have to build a new fire wall as the one on the plane is bent and spit .

Hey Paul,

If you look at the pics attached hopefully that helps you out, I will double check the actual box for any numbers that may help you.  The prop is $1730 USD, was looking for offers around $1500 (for both if you wanted them), its also got a carbon spinner kit ($185 USD).IMG_20111210_110631_Blog.jpgIMG_20111210_110640_Blog.jpgIMG_20111210_110701_Blog.jpgIMG_20111210_110739_Blog.jpgIMG_20111210_110825_Blog.jpg

Cheers,

Hi Paul, I was actually out at the dairy the other day doing some work.  As for the canopy, it is still a fair way off yet... I am still trying to re align everything from where the last guy left off...

Oil Temps on my Jab were greatly improved by installation of "10 bar" aero classics oil cooler rather than the standard 7 bar.

Thanks Paul

This was a photo of me flying my vintage Zodiac in 8 octas of cloud. Of coarse the camerman was strapped to the wingtip and happy to be there on such a hot humid day. Do you believe it?

I'm so VANE.

Hey Capt'n

I can help with your request. Flew model aircraft for 20 years and 1.2 mtr span rotor helli for a couple of years. Also have dabbled with heaps of the small palm size helli's. For the little kids, the cheaper the better to start with. Found some at big W for $15 ea one time. I will check into some for you that will be good value in both dollars and fun.
