Hey Pete,

The workshop looks great, you'll find that there will be more light in there now, with the white walls.

all we need to see now is a pick of you putting some paint down on a -47 after panel lines and rivets are all been put down!

Thanks

Dave

yeah yeah

along with all my other chores, we just got the front deck rebuilt courtesy of radio MMM and the Cage crew, Sharon entered a comp with them the other day to win an apprentice for a day so they came out and did the job. Still hav e some small stuff to finish on Monday. Been painting all their new handiwork.

Your right about there being more light, one of the first things I noticed in fact.

cheers
Peter

Bob,
cricket is not that rough, just rough on the shoulders with the bowling and throwing.

Mind you I am way past playing rugby or either code, league or union. Young mans sport that one.

No flying today even though the sun is out and no clouds it is blowing a bloody gale, waaaaay too blustery for flying anything except a full size airliner!

Anyway going to drag the Sea Fury out of the trailer and fit the kill switch. Too windy for priming the P47.

cheers
Peter

Reconstruction of the langing gear rails is underway. I have cleaned up the inbord rail area. I will secure a maple block to the top. But first using my old plywood rib tree as a guide I will cut out a rib to match and secure to the inboard side, just to give me a larger surface for glueing and pinning.
more to come.............

Mate

With my sholders arther-i-tus I would be done after the first throw.

A great day hear but to meany chores to get done, So finished them suckers.

47 up date finaly got the primer on the wing will let it dry a day or two, then I can pull the pnl line tape a light sand and I should be ready for some color, wil be forced to decide leaning to 44-21228 56th FG out of Boxted 1945 UK colors on top natural under surfaces, I think that will make it easey to see.

Craig,

time you add the rib doubler you should have plenty of surface area for the rail to adhere to though I woulod still add some trangle hardwood stock to give it that little extra - just me and my tendency to over engineer things!


Bob don't talk to me about chores, I still hav e the front deck uprights to paint oil onto - maybe later today


I can tell you after 3 shoulder reconstructions on the left shoulder is is useless at throwing anything except a beer back! Right is not much better but still not great for bowling, mind you a cricket bowling action is overarm unlike the sideway action of a baseball pitch. A good first class bowler can get around the 100mph mark which is pretty quick and a cricket ball is like hard like a rock so not good to be hit by one!

cheers
Peter

Inboard rib doublers are cut, and notched for better adhesion. First pic is the cut rib, pic #2, rib in position, and pic #3 shows what the rib will look like when attached. I still need to rough up the rib already installed. This will provide me with a nice large area for the maple rail, which I intend to pin with carbon fibre as well.

Rib doublers are glued and clamped. I will let it set and harden overnight, and proceed tomorrow with the maple rails.

got the JR match box programmed on the elevators and remembered to save the setting this time

Fitted the electronic kill switch which works off AUX4 toggle switch on the 9x. It also has a manual kill switch underneath that is wired in parallel.

If the weather behaves I will prime the P47 Fuz next weekend.
