Default RE: Capiche 50

I recorded some of the flights. Anyone on saturday may have seen me with a HUGE videocamera which is 10 years old on my right hand shoulder. Some people thought I was from the BBC

I gots most of the stuff but some I didn't, I couldn't find a David Combi razorplane so bought a Zona one instead. It looks ok but I have no idea where to buy replacement blades.

Got the Capiche 50 of course, although it wasn't that straight forward. A nice person in Carbon Copy said he would have to sort out all the boxes as they were all jumbled up and should have been outside with Island Hobbies. But I got it done in the end and it was onl;y £150 then add £30 for the covering, but I couldnt get orange so my scheme is a bit muffed now. They didn't have the 3mm linkages! So I'll pop around to my local LHS and buy 3mm links and some closed loop.

I looked through all the parts of the Capiche 50 and they seemed to be of very nice quality but the hole on F1 is missing.

Still the plans are very very clear comapred to other plans I have seen and the build seems simpler than anticipated. Now, all I need is a flat table and board! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

Sandown was good but less than I had expected. So wings and wheels I cant wait for now!

Capiche looks super so I cannot wait to get started now. As soon as I get that darned table...

On a last note, Miss BMFA was very pretty....
