@@helenbilbe2689 I am only prepared to go so far, I have the dog and medals 🏅

Drat, and double drat!😁

It adds element of get on with it 🙂 There are other finishing bits getting done, while I wait for a suitable couple of days to start the wing rigging.

@@flyingkub All exciting stuff, sir. Here's to the next installment. 👍

@@JodelFlyer these bungees will be easier to tune than the ones on the Kub which are prelooped and took 3 of use to change last time. Mutttley it is, I am now looking to do the nose art.

Bungee although shorter lived have the advantage of being self damped.

Thank you for you kind words. I will try to Wam him and Bam him and catch that pigeon NOW!

@@flyingkub 👍👍💜💜😀😀😀

Thanks

@@s1spittsdriver I can see his shoulders shacking up and as he laughs 😃

Wacky races and Catch the Pigeon were my favourite cartoons when I was growing up! I think you need to add a small facsimile of Muttley on the rudder now!

Well my dog looks a bit like Mutley but I agree for a bit of nose art or on the fin.

@@Payne2view it is cheaper to have an in series (although you can chose from the next few and not just the next in line), registration like I did this time but you can for a bit of extra cash ask for one with specific letters like I did with the Kub and yes some are banned for obvious reasons 😉

Yes G-INFO is not compliant with Data Protection not sure how they get away with it as a limited company!

Great to see an update on the Youngster. Hope you're well and keep em coming!

@@nickbarsby3378 thanks Nick, will try to keep moving forward.

@@donwtsn my camera didn't like the light and I didn't want to show too much, otherwise the cheapskates wouldn't go. I know there are enthusiasts like you who can't make it. I imagine you can't wait to get back to Frankenstin.

@@flyingkubcheers mate. I’ve always loved exploring sheds. The things you find can be quite interesting! On the downhill run to getting back to Frankenstein now.

@@donwtsn I know what you mean. Looking forward to Frankenstien progress.

@@flyingkubhehe, me too!

@@roybilbe1378 lovely runway 60m wide, it's like landing at Heathrow. Not sure if it's still open but can give you a number to call.

Yes please Algy 👍

@@roybilbe1378 thanks Roy. You will have to wait to next year now for any events and I think they are closing shortly for the winter.

@@helenbilbe2689 worth visiting for sure.

@@frizzlefry5904 it is restricted due to planning, from what I gather, autogyros and twins can't o either. It is a shame how people can stop flying from an airfield that existed before they were born.

Worth while.They are struggling for funds due to having the road to them closed for the summer. Very interesting exibits.

It is known as a 'tow release'.

It is an interesting airfield with Southend airspace just 1500ft over it. Yes, the humidity had managed to get inside the camera and even now having been put in a box with cilicagel it still is not clear, so I think thereis residueon the sensor or lens so it will probably be thrown.

Thank you for the positive feedback. Sorry for holding you and John up, with the pack that gathered around it as we were settingup to go. She is currently off lineaswe have stripped it to the bare bones for inspection and to upgrade the skins and composites to production standards.

We had flown it for long time but not had a nice trip out. Yes it was good to see Tim but I did not want to impose on his story telling too much. You are correct with your aircraft recognision. Will probably go again and might even pop in on Tim on the way.

@@clearprop no problem, I will try.

I can see clearly now the rain has gone, oh sorry, now the scratches have gone :-)

Not had any issues with my old metal one as I can press the lever at the back to reliease the piston, it is a bit of a case of what works for the operator :-)

All good observations PTG. I think it will imporve the view for the next 5 years. :-)

Simular but not as sensitive and the sealant is the non amonia type so it will not craze it either. No material creep with the soft aluminum rivets especially if you drill the holes to 3.5mm to give the shank some place to go.

Thanks

@@PeterGreen-o6l it has taken 5 years for me to do this video, I'm not one to give my life story. I might do one but it will be some time.

It is a great place to work, my job can be very varied some day.

⁠@@flyingkubvariation keeps you on your toes and thinking

On my toes all the time, that is the fun, test flying one minute, doing a repair the next and then Quality or Conformity paper work to round the day off.

@@flyingkubwhat fun!

I hope it will help as it can be a green strip on a sea of green.

I think we will have another one next year. We do a lot that people don't know we can do or expect.

I see you have a new runway at your field are you going to do a video for people to find you? I hope I am about when you visit.

Yes we now have 08/26. It’s just as undulating as 13/31 and very much shorter but has made a huge difference to flyability. I will ask one of the guys with video to make a how to find us ! Will let you know when I’m Cromer bound. G-CCMC.

@@andrewwoods3031 cool must pop down some time soon ish then.

@@clearprop not sure interesting but I think there will be a better video about my workplace coming up in the not too distant future on another channel.

@@electoplater Sherwood Rangers yes and Sherwood Kubs and Scouts but not with Sky Rangers.

@@Lawiah0 thank you, did you see the firewall is now sealed?

@@flyingkub yes, firewall sealed

Well I have been asked so often, I thought there would be a few who had not asked but wanted to know, what I did.

Just a little video.

No I did fly gliders as a cadet from RAF Swanton Morley but as for being based there, no, nearest posting to them would have been either Marham or Coltishall. Just thought, if you were at RAF Swanton Morley you might have met me there as I was there regularly dealing with NDT and composite repair systems.

@@flyingkub I'm sure our paths have crossed. Did you have many dealings with the CSDE Tool Cell at Swanton Morley (and later Wyton), or an ex chief called Jim Wild?

@@combatwombat71 Mid to late 80's I did have some dealings with the Tool Cell when I did some work with the Victor Adit.

@@flyingkub I meant to mention - I did know one of the NDT guys at Swanton, as we were both involved with the model aircraft club. Steve (Cotter?) Surname might be wrong - long time ago! Also Ginge Reese big into the model flying but can't remember if he was NDT team or not.

@@combatwombat71 So we might have met through models, I flew aerobatics, helicopters and other, mainly at the Downham club but also RAF comps.

@@ShortField like you are unable to find us Terry 😀

I like it, would it go like this? "In 100yds turn left at the gray cloud and continue 2.4 miles" 🙂

I might get more people there but more better still they can find the place, these grass airstrips tend to vanish in the green fields that suround them and can be easy to miss without knowing the land marks.

I wipe it over with a light oil, that will be easy to clean off and put it in a tube with silica gel but make sure it is not in contact with the steel. I then use brake cleaner to degrease it before use and then wire brush it or sand it to a bright finish before welding.

Thanks so much for that Algy. Had searched Bingelis but in vain!

@@nickbarsby3378 Glad I could help, I have kept steel like that for years.

I did plan to go to Priory but was told the day before that it would probably be off due to water logging so ended up do chores.

I have been contemplating weight reduction on the plane all along.

@@flyingkub I know you have! Was just teasing!

Well I have started a diet so a bit tender :-)

Ha Ha I love it, the problem is they have their design engineers miles away from the production area.

Thanks, I do think they with do. Yes a bit of good old speed tape to maintain the edge seal wrap on the fireproofing.

I hope so, it is based on the method seen used on other aircraft types.

@@clearprop thanks for watching. It's good to make some progress again.

@@Jean-MarcMaldague no the stringers are as per the plan but have additional support not shown on the plan. If I remember correctly there is more detail in the following video. The stringers are not structural, they are there for the covering to give shape.

Hello, yes I know this isn't structural, I thought that just the covering could bend these thin piece of wood. I'll go ahead with the drawing dims and add some support, not easy when going to the rear of the fuselage as there is non plywood everywhere. Thanks, rgds, Jm

@@Jean-MarcMaldague I think in the next video I show how I fit them to the cross members. They have stood up well to my covering.

@@JodelFlyer thanks Tim, hope to continue making progress. Always good to know the videos are of interest.

@@outlawflyer7868 I don't know it's light and cost effective as well. Actually the Carbolane paper bit is stable at 1250degC or 2282degF

@@flyingkub 1 blanket is 1 pound

@@outlawflyer7868 this stuff only a fiver and copes with more but your fire blanket is a reasonable cheap option.
