Hi Mark,

Many thanks.

I only have Dave Shulmans private email address and try not to use it, after all it is his own!! I know Mr V doesn't like giving out their email address's for obvious reasons. Is there a chance that I can PM you with my email address to forward on?

Nick Smith in the UK normally helps me, but I think he may be away just now?

It's my fault anyway, I hid the damn plans! Actually I think one of the retracts may be going the other way, so will double check that too.

I was not going as high as 100lb psi and also did not use the HiFlo. Two facts to play with later, I also only connected one tank in, as it was a test.

I am impressed with the mechanics though, very well engineered and solid, no play in the system at all.

Daft question, presumably you use the servo slow function to make the raising and lowering at a scale speed, else they would just bang up and down (yuck!)??

As you've built 2 AFS, I would love to hear any comments you have, and also have you any pictures?

I intend to make it look scale, but will not be entering competitions etc, too much like hard work and I could not bear the critiscism!! I have bought landing lights from Dennis at Glennis for the front leg and decided over the weekend to add lights to the wing tanks, not scale I know, but it will look good in the air, and not unrealistic I guess, even if the full size did not have them.

Many thanks for taking an interest and hope to hear from you,

regards,

Garry
