Danny.

As Rich says - no bearings on the FP, its bronze bushes instead - but crank shaft is now as smooth as a babys bum! Turns over beautifully!

The whole model was only a Tenner Rich anyway, so not really expecting anything fantastic to fly, just going to tidy it up a bit, re-cover it, probably get rid of the elastic band wing attatchment system and see what it does - it will probably be a bit of a pig to fly, but just looking forward to doing it up really!

Keep it as light as you can, now I see it's a trainer I would leave the bands on for now.

You can modify it when you have to repair it.

Well spotted, thats the model in wing attachment post then

Yep, its the one from the wing attatchment post! Still not 100% sure what to do with the wings actually, it might be more hastle than its worth really - we will see!

As for making it as light as I can - there was half a church roof attached to the front end just behind the engine (about 300g) which has me very worried about C of G issues!
