NOW FOR SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT

The 'Prof' has been busy recently labouring away in his workshop at the bottom of the garden.  Under construction was a kit from Great Planes known as the 'Slow Poke'.

This is the 'Slow Poke' sporting a wing span of 62-inches and a wing cord of no less than 18-inches!  Should make for some interesting flying!  Tony has selected an ASP .61 four stroke to power the model and he hopes to have its maiden flight shortly.

Tony commissioned Peter to build the model and today it was on display at the 'field'.  A truely beautiful and professional job as we've come to expect from the workshop of the Prof.  All that remains is for the plumbing to be connected and the C og G checked.

Peter hands over the completed project to its proud owner

Covered in parts with Oracover and others with Hobby King covering.  Stunning.

Let's hope it flys as good as it looks.  I'm sure it will.
