Great start Daren, and in a remarkably short time too!
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Although gripped with a raging man flu (apparently I've got a "cold" according to Mrs W), showing incredible bravery and laughing in the face of pain, I managed to crawl to the computer just to check on your blitz. Excellent effort, these kits could have be made for the purpose :grin:

Yep, I'm here. Just up. I only got about four and a half hours' sleep yesterday (night shift) and I didn't get to bed until 2am!

Once I've finished my breakfast, I'll be right on it! ;-)

It's a bit blurry, but the canopy is on and the aerial mast is installed:

I'll stop there for now, as I need to go out, but I'll be back on it once I'm home.

Wow! That was an impressive amount of work in first 90 minutes. Looking good.

You may have time to do a second one!
