    Great stuff. Your aeroplane is certainly clean and shiny so is the hangar clean and tidy. Nothing wrong with that. Congrats to both of you for 24 years spent together. I wish you many, many more

      Thanks mate, I do like things clean and tidy….just don’t look at my shed at home right now! Bring on the next 24 years!

    Having been a sheet metal contractor, making very high end custom Copper & Zinc Range Hoods, Chimney Tops, Bar Tops, etc, for 40 years, building competition Trials motorcycles, and working on airplanes for a couple of years as well, I just want to compliment you on your beautiful aluminum and rivet work!
    Great looking plane!!

      Thanks mate. If I ever was going to have a New Year’s resolution, it’d be getting Frankenstein flying! Hope you have a great Christmas break mate

    What I love about Don's airplane is that despite having the name Frankenstein it's 100% original, like it flew out of his animation into real life.

      Thanks mate. You can blame my mates for calling it Frankenstein so much that it stuck!

    You should have left the bushing in, cleaned it and the sensor with some Emory cloth, and JB weld epoxy that thing back in.
    Good luck mate!

      Thought about it, but decided to do it this way. Figured I might want to remove it for something in the future

      Cheers mate. I do enjoy learning the arty side of making videos. Sort of like adding art in to building aeroplanes, but different. Fun times!

    That adapter fumble on the part of the manufacturer was probably a mistake in cnc code that they were trying to save a batch of screwed up parts from having to go to scrap over. They didn't want to have to deal with the cost of the mistake and ended up sending out shit. Sorry if the language is a bit offensive, but that is what that kind of thing is.

    • @donwtsn

      Hehe, no worries mate. I said something very similar when I found it! I reckon you’re right. Got their money I guess so the consequences are irrelevant in their mind
