Default I have to thank you guys.


Sometime last year one of the posters on here was moaning about the
length of time that a Druine Turbulent takes to build, and that he
wasnt even going to start.
I looked at the post and thought, damn if that isnt exactly what I'm
after. something with lots of small parts that costs stuff all to
build and absorbs all the boring time between semesters at uni.

tailfeathers are almost finished. fuselage longerons were interrupted
by the table saw motor burning out but that should be home soon and
the fuselage should look like something in a week or two.

I'm having a ball at present with building sessions interspersed with
trips down to the airfield to fly the tailwind.

I've even been prompted to get the little furnace I built for
aluminium casting dusted off to cast up a set of lightweight toe brake
pedals. Man this homebuilding is magic.

for the poor bugger who thought it was too hard. rotfl. you have no
idea how much enjoyment building a little turbulent is.
