Default RE: Aeroflyte Platypus

Hi guys well i have to be honest this forum isnt very good, not the content but the forum itself i always stay away from forums that dont let you upload pictures.

so after looking everywhere to see how to upload here without finding anything i had to open a photo bucket account and post the links oh and wheres the spell checker, arrrrrrggggg

i only joined for this thread


so heres the links the finish is rough as guts which is expected from almost 20yrs of abuse also iv taken a photo of the plans i will scan in the next few days. i will also upload some pics of it in action from a few years ago and maby a you tube video. but not here obviouse but thinks will be.
