Ready to fly

looks very good,Dave.Hope to be there on Friday

what you asking him that for Roy you've got one

Its a Gangster 63 fitted with an Irvine 60. I bought if from Peter about a month ago as a quick hack and got carried away . After knocking out all the formers and replacing them along with new ply doublers I replaced a lot of wood around the nose area. She now has two wing servos on ailerons a rear mounted elevater servo and a seperate servo on the nose wheel that can be switched out for take offs (sorry Mark I like trikes). The whole thing has been recovered in Profilm apart from the engine bay area which was glassed with fine mat and sprayed with 2pack automotive paint. Also larger wheels fitted to increase ground clearance. The whole job is very retro as this was my first airobatic ship back in the seventees

Now I have to remember how to waggle the sticks

Well sort of.

Mine a 75 inch span fitted with retracts and halled around by a Laser 90.

just thought it would be of interest to some people.
