Thanks for posting this up Martin. The sound was cutting in and out in the first half of the video. At least for me.

Hey Grover, thanks for watching. Sorry about the sound...it must have been an issue with translation when uploaded to YT...I just checked the master video on my desktop and it's clear audio all through?

Cheers :) :cheers2:

Hi
Thats a great kit
Built it about a year ago. Was my second kit and it showed my inexperience, but fit was great. No filler required.
My tip. Use lots of weight in the nose.
I didnt and had a tailsitter so had to drill through the bomb bay and stuff it with bluetac the fill the hole.

Have a good one.

Regards
Sergio

Hey Sergio, thanks for watching mate. I built this kit last year (October) as my entry into a "Cancer Awareness Group Build". The instructions included a note to add so many grams of weight in the nose, so, no tail-sitter for me. Here's my "Final Reveal" video link:

I built it in memory of my first wife Lorraine who passed away from cancer at the age of 28, my Mum, Muriel who passed away from Uterine Cancer just 2 months after my wife, and for my sister, Jackie, who was suffering from Uterine cancer at the time of the build, and who unfortunately passed away shortly after I completed it on November 4th.

Cheers :cheers2:
