Thanks Pat
My MKIII classic was all white...and my painting skills have not
improved . I managed to get the left side of the Fuselage taped and
painted yesterday...Hope to have the right side done by evening...but
Golf is on the menu this morning...
Have my airstrip mowed and at the ready...but think I should find a
much longer runway for initial testing... I have flown all my
builds from my shorter 700 foot strip...The 1300 strip is very bumpy...a
hay field esentially...
Dialed in the Warp drive prop to bring the rpm's up to 6k...gonna
leave it there for now..Sure wish I had a three blade IVO...much easier
to dial in...and certainly smoother..
I could likely go a zig zag with two or three rum and cokes!
By the way...watched , as I may have said, the BBC story of the
Spitfire...Wondering if there is only one two seater left in England? Herb

<< By the way...watched , as I may have said, the BBC story of the

Keep your eyes open for `The return of the Spitfires` broadcast last night. 38 Spits, Hurricanes and a Blenheim took off from Goodwood (the old RAF field of Westhampnet) split ionto flights and covered the South of England. I saw red flight of 6 Spits routed round the South coast and then Salisbury to Bristol diverting slightly over my home town of Trowbridge were Spits were built, taken my old gliding field at Keevil, 5 miles away and then flown by the ATA to the squadrons. pink flight which was routed Bath to Colerne was running so late I went home. I remember Colerne as an active `drome protecting Bath during the blitz.
Several 2 seaters flew. Prince Harry was scheduled for one seat but gave it up to someone else whose Spitfire had gone crook. Good mark for the Royals. I am still scheduled to fly for Oct 28th. They want to feature me in a promo video. I am trying to parlay that into some stick time inspite of `you will not be allowed to touch the controls` in the small print. I can cancel right up to engine start. Unless there are dual controls I think i will do that. Pat
