You said "My attention continues with my beast on Tuesday with 1000 litres of fuel" daft question, bit is there a schedule of duties and tasks published at all so I know what day they hope to do what? As an avid contributer to the BBP, it's hard seeing what's happening each day? Are daily updates being g posted here?

Sorry about the silly questions, thanks in anticipation 😀
I am just an avid watcher of the BBP. My project is a SEPECAT Jagaur rebuild from a hulk. Not quite in the same league as the BBP, but 5 years solid of my life to sort. Heard the Girl rose fully tonight, well done all. Hope the canopy issue is not a show stopper.

Re: Isle of Bute

just watched the Sky footage of today, Bill, well done mate. She does work. She wants to plane. Leo Villa could have done with you lot in 66 or 55.
Hope today is the start of a smoth progression. My attention continues with my beast on Tuesday with 1000 litres of fuel.

Re: Pic of the Day

Seeing the pictures of legs sticking out of K7 reminds me of the rubbish I have had to do with the electrics of the Jaguar! More pain and suffering today due to broken wires.. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Re: Technical Talk

Good luck with the Water Brake hyds Bill. The ruddy Jag undercarriage took me months to sort out! I just wish I had it in my back yard so I could sort it, not the ruddy 100 mile around trip once a week If I am lucky!

Re: What have forum members been up to?

Yes Bill, the engines came from Everett Aero, a few years ago. They certainly are not flight worthy, but anything that is will be sold to dealers that will pay more than what Chris Wilson or James will pay for them. the modules have value if they have any life.
