This is nice, thanks to the effort of you guys I may actually be there for the new thread. 23 more posts... I hope my parents dont get back in that time.

Or atleast let me stay on for the last posts.

It was a replica, just under full size.

It was fully flyable and in working order tho. I moved the stick and the control surfaces moved.

It was in a museum out at Dolby, near Towoomba in QLD. I was visiting my grandparents and they knew i loved planes and flying so they took me to all these cool little museums and airfields that had old warbirds sitting around.

If this link works then all the pics of the Spit where takken at the Richmond RAAF base in Sydney. The rest in little museums in QLD.

Im running out of excuses to write. I just looked over the destruction manual for my genius- all five pages of it. Very poor excuse for a manual. I see that they are using 55's all round, i wonder if an E-sky servo for the rudder will be good, or if I should stick to getting a high quality Jr servo.

I better get off, my parents will be here soon and I dont think they'll be too happy to see that I am still on the internet. Well guys, I will see you next time on the Australian thread Part 2. Bleary, looking forward to reading your opening statement.

Guten Nacht

I'm finished with expensive servos maiden - I'm using cheapies these days unless it is something I hand built (like the RV4, and G300).

By the way - do you have a link to an online vendor of this new plane - just so we can take a closer look at it?

OK.. off topic but who cares

I'm trying to help in the quest for page 200

Who has ever had a DC3 parked outside their house?

I have.. well it was an ex-DC3 which had long ago been converted into a roadworthy bus... I'll see if I can dig up the actual story which is quite fascinating but this was a real treat to find outside our apartment one Saturday morning....

Enjoy!

Thats quite a compliment MC. Kinda wish i never posted me mug now i could handle people thinking i look like Tom.

I aim to please Ive somehow in my head made up a picture of what I think each of you look like, dont know how, sorta like what I imagine a new singer looks like until I see them in a picture. Maybe we should all post a pic of ourselves with our favorite (or only) model? It would be good to know what each of us look like.

OK MC - here's a picture - it's not quite current but only about 20+ years old....

They say I'm the black sheep of the family... what do you think?

Digital, the Hitec HS - you can get a kit to change the nylon innards to the better metal upgrade. All details are in Critterhunters post - just do a search

Thanks for that. I have the lhs coming back with pricing today on the HS85MG and so I'll order them no doubt, assuming the price is right

Cheers and thanks for your input
