Yeah, sometimes life gets in the way of long projects, good to see you have re-started.
A couple of guys co-built a couple of large Vampires in Oz many years ago, I'm pretty sure they were of composite
construction. Unfortunately both met their demise, one scarily flew away after radio failure, fortunately crashed in
a field away from civilisation when it ran out of fuel.
The other suffered in flight structural failure, I was flying at the time just in front of him, didn't see it, just heard the bang.
People joked it was wake turbulence from my little Wren 44 powered model.
