Do you ever get time to fly the planes Pete?

I sold a few off had 30 odd.  A lot of the bigger 80 90 inch wingspan ones were hard to transport.

I still go out once a month  mainly fly electric now for ease but still have a supercharged 4 stroke in a big spitfire and several other 4 strokes and a few 2 strokes.

I sold recently a 80 inch wingspan decathalon with a 26cc zenoah lovelly plane..

I have a pretty good boat collection too really like 40s and 50s pleasure craft and im right into brushless motors and lipo batterys so my old vic smeed huntsman has a big brushless outrunner with water cooled speedy its def a wolf in sheeps clothing.
Also have a few brushless race boats but dont get much time for them.
Having 3 daughters i have to take a boat they can put their dolls onto lol

Sweet ride Pete, the van would look just as good behind the wagon. I'm looking at the PW100 rims for mine(not sure about painted or polished centres yet) what offset did you get on the rims? they look like a snug fit in the guards.

Hi Jim only just seen your reply.
They were just the ones listed we worked out the offset and the face is the same as standard the offset is all inwards.
But in saying that they are a little bit more outwards than standard for some reason.
Its very low nearlly on the bump stops in the front and does not rub.
I hit a pretty large bump with some gear and my daughter in the back and heard it scrub once.
Tyres are Falken 205/50/15

Been fixing a few things that i didnt want to have to fix.
 Alternator died yesterday so replaced that with a mini unit but its still doing some weird electrical things so will replace the battery today.
Brakes squeal like i have never heard before pulled them apart there must be a tube of red anti squeal on the pads also there was fibre tape on the back of the brake pads so its done it for a while i pressume.
Discs look a little glazed so will get them skimmed and fit new soft pads.
Back into the FE this week try get the fuel lines fitted.
