Hi Bill

Thanks for those kind words. It was a pleasure.

As requested, I now post some photo's of your 1/2 Bugaboo, with some of the notes you recently sent me. A really neat job there.

Flying shots in due course please Bill!

"Well, I wanted you to see my latest creation, a half-size Bugaboo powered by the little AE which you kindly conquered for me a while back! I feel confident enough about being able to run it, that I've made good on my promise to build a plane for it.

I just reduced the plans 50% and started building. The r/c rig is a ParkZone AR6400L, and because I needed some significant tail weight to counter the heavy little AE, I've built in a tray for a single cell 400mah battery, which the cell can slide into and make the cg at the wing spar line, about 20-25% of the chord. Hope that will be OK, at least to start.

I used Coverlite shrinkable covering, which is the updated version of LiteSpan. It is very light, about equal to silk, and doesn't have an adhesive coating,so an adhesive must be brushed onto the framework and heat-tacked on, then shrunk with higher heat. You may be familiar with this covering. It's coating is fuel proof so it doesn't need any further finishing, and it looks very much like tissue or silk.

I hope you are doing well, and when you see David, please send him my best regards. I don't know how to post photos on our Diesel thread, so if you want to do so, feel free to post my pics for the others to see, as part of one of your messages."
