@@clearprop the weather is getting worse so there will be less flying and more building I'm sure.

🙂

@@JodelFlyer very true, autumn is already here, thankfully Cromer drains well.

@@Lawiah0 thanks as always.

I am sure God did see me make progress but it was good that you also looked at my video 🙂It is only a little bit of progress but I do feel a little more awake in the evenings so should be able to make a little more progress.

It has been very warm in the workshop and I have been enjoying flying too much , trying to catch up on my normal hours, still about 10 hours behind last year at this time.

@@flyingkub get the flying in whilst the weather is good.

@@stevewallace1359 I will do my best; that said, I am getting some flight time at work as well, doing testing.

They are there to allow a degree of miss alignment when you first put the cowl on you don't tighten those ones full until the fixed ones are in; it is better than having over size holes in the fibreglass.

Good to be back at it. :-)

@@JodelFlyer the funny thing was I was to the left of the field deliberately, so I could see it when I was told to look left so missed it all good fun. Love the Chipmunk, if I could afford one and to run it, I would not hesitate.

@@JodelFlyer I will let you know next time I fly down there. It is lovely field the only down side is the landing fee is a bit high but not terrible.

@@Payne2view it was a busy time, when I went over Norwich, a lot of radio going on. The Chipmunk ride has made that the trip of the year.

My wife had a good laugh as it is normally her telling me to go the wrong way. Chipmuck ride was just great took me right back to being 17.

If you ask he might, the number is on Skydemon :-)

You could always ask nicely Terry.

Yes Terry you would be welcome, as Algy says airfield details and my number is on SkyDemon.

@@kenskelso Wow cheers Ken I'll give you a call sir.

@@kenskelso I thought he would be. I hope you approve of the video.

Thanks Roy, you know Great Oakley is a lovely airfield.

Thank you Giles for your support and watching.

Nice to know that it was found enjoyable and informative. Thank you for watching and commenting.

At the moment I am playing catch up with my flying hours after the slow start of summer and the illness is still slowing me down in the evenings, so the build has suffered a bit but we are getting to the end of the hight stress bits of work at work and I am starting to adapt to the medication and hav edone a few little bits on the aircraft which will be put into a catch up video soon. I was thinking it might have been ready by october this year but whenI got the diagnosis and work ramped up for that project, coming home tired and having a nap after supper, it just got a bit too much.

Having lived through the expeirence of watching my late wife suffer the effects of cancer treatment, I can fully understand how it is effecting you. All I can do is wish you all the best. Regards Michael

Thank you for your kind thoughts. At least things are looking up my count has gone from 565 down to 5.9 so that is positive.

I've avidly followed your build videos from the outset but wasn't aware of the nature of your illness Algy. All I can say by way of support is that I was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 but that I am now fit and well. There is very much a life after cancer. So much so that, with your inspiration, I am currently preparing my workshop in readiness to build a Nicollier Menestrel. Just wish I too had a Kub to keep me current!

Your comment is very humbling, that my videos can have an influance on anyone is just amazing to me. I am returning to something like my preillness level of fittness so hopefully within a month or two I will be getting back to full swing building, provided the finances can keep up. Thank you for you kind comments and some video of build is coming up.

We had such a bad start to summer I am playing catch up to get my flying hours in and the lastfew weekends have really helped.

No problem, always happy to help if I can. It depends on the system used but as a general rule of thumb you put less on the floor than you would with a standard spray gun and spraying gets into areas a brush struggles although it is still good to use a bush in some areas as you get with both spray systems spray shadows. If you add a bit of dye to the varnish it helps get and even coat and see what has been hit and work methodically. When spraying I do at least 3 coats but thinned down a fair amount normally 50% for the first coat so it gets into the wood. I use a high gloss vanish and it should end up satin any more than that and you have applied too much weight.

Thank you my friend and the same to you.

I have nearly 250hrs behind the Hirth. I fly with MoGas, 91UL or 100LL using BlueMax 2 stroke oil at 90:1. I get very little carbon build up, not needed to do a decoke on the exhaust to date, I find the belts last 100hrs, plugs I just change at each 25hr service but that's just me. Blue Max oil costs a fortune here but is easier to get in the USA. Most of my flying is cross country, some over water, to places up to 150miles away, in one hop, so have to use the fule available there but I tend to keep the use of leaded fuel down as it reduces the life of the plugs. Thank you for watching.

@@flyingkub THANK YOU! Happy Landings.

@@AngelikaJuliana my friend was disappointed that he couldn't see the field but made a safe decision. I am not getting any worse at the moment but have another hospital appointment soon.

@@flyingkub luckily nothing serious happened to him and he was safe. I’m glad to hear you are not getting worse. Keep me updated, as always hugs and prayers to you 😊

@@ShortField it's nice to hear you enjoying one of my offerings, coming from a slick media professional like you. I am sure I have done a video on the field before, it is very well kept, smooth and long. Thanks for telling me the starter button is the same as the Shark, it doubles the value of my plane 🙃

@@JodelFlyer it is a lovely long smooth strip, just not much near, without a bit of a walk. I am doing OK thanks for asking.

@@michaelchartres he returned because he couldn't see the airfield, it's not easy with low experience to see a grass strip amongst grass fields, especially when you fly right over the centre of them, much better to be to one side. The Sherwood Ranger flys at my speed in my Sherwood Kub, both fun planes.

He made a safe decision for his experinace level. It is hard to see a grass strip in the middle of gress fields.

That like a sounds fun invitation. I might just give you a call in the morning if the forcast holds up, you are right between Sutton Meadows and Cambridge.

@@harryscott3741 the mask is a modified dust mask, I use it to improve the audio.

@@flyingkub That's pretty clever

@@harryscott3741 I work TLAC and yes I am hoping to demonstrate our aircraft.

@@flyingkub What a great job. Do you fly to work from Cromer?

@@harryscott3741 only flown to work at a weekend as it would take me longer to get there than it is to drive, with 1/2 hour to the plane, get it ready for flight and 1/2 hour to fly there, but I should do it just for fun one day 🙂

@@ShortField 😀 true.

Sorry I didn't show the whole circuit but some would probably say the video was dragging if I did. It is a balancing act, I got it wrong this time. Thanks for watching.

@@goaway7346 not yet but probably not long to go 😀

@@michaelchartres sorry Michael didn't do a build video as been too busy with work stuff. I went to Boston to learn to fly from the right seat as I have only ever flown a side by side as P1 from the left seat not as P1 in the right.

@@AngelikaJuliana I completely the differences training and it was good fun to gain another skill.

@@flyingkub I’m glad to hear you got out to learn a new skill 😊 it’s never too late to learn something new

It was nice to be flying, thankfully the meds are not effecting me other than being tired at the end of the day. Yes that was the Boss on the radio.

No not converting to nose wheel 🙂 COnverting to side by side right seat. I forgot my fuzzy mic. I have managed to fly yo Boston and New York in on day 🙂

@@Payne2view No but I haven't flown one for years and never from the right seat, being able to do that, will allow me to demonstrate to customers our new aircraft.

@@nickbarsby3378 yes there will be some soon honest, little bit at a time as I am worn out in the evenings and have some work to do on my car as well.

I will pop in again I am sure 🙂

Some videos to come from this weekends flying fun.

@@flyingkub great! I hope you had a fun time. Can’t wait to see your video 😊 Are you feeling better with the pain?

Hi Tim, I am taking thinks fairly easy, this week I will spend editing the weekends flying. I did a load of that. Here is a link to the fireproofing www.lasaero.com/products/article/I02Q97NSL

Thanks as always for watching.

The stain was the oil or dirt coming off my pliers but good spot. Thank you for looking.

I think the paper is a ceramic fibre. Treatment is ok at the moment.

@@Payne2view I think the term paper is a bit of a misnomer, I think in reality it is some sort on compressed ceramic fibre which mimics a paper.

@@ave3d624 I ❤ the imoji message 👍

@@ShortField thanks Terry for looking at my humble offering. I hope to continue to make progress even if a little slower.
