[@michaelchartres]

Good to see you back at it. When I watched you build the wings ect I had no idea how much more work was ahead. Work for you, fascination for your viewers. Cheers Michael

[@flyingkub]

@@michaelchartres thank you for your kind comment. I am acclimatising to the medication, so managing to do a little on the build.

[@clearprop]

Great to see another update, Algy. Still following along. 🙂

[@flyingkub]

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

[@JodelFlyer]

Always interesting to watch you work and listen to your gems of wisdom!

[@flyingkub]

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

[@jimmyboy163]

Coming right along Algy! I'm stuck in Armenia at the moment.....won't get home for another 4 days. It'll be 2 weeks since I've been home.....all my covering materials should be waiting on me!!

[@flyingkub]

@@jimmyboy163 looking forward to seeing those videos.

[@Payne2view]

Its a good idea to seal those bolts with resin & keeping them spaced using the coils.

[@flyingkub]

@@Payne2view thanks I thought it was a reasonable solution. Hope to get a chance to look at your jaguar video, you know I worked on them at RAF Coltishall.

Thanks as normal.

Looking good Algy. Does your T88 have a non mixed shelf life? I only ask as you mentioned at the very beginning of the build that you were struggling to get it and is this the same batch. Just curious that is all.

[@flyingkub]

Yes T88 has a shelf life but as it is a none structural part I was happy to use it (2 months over) I don't have any more structural bonding to do and if I find some I have forgoten about I will use West Systems aircraft approved resin, which is available in the UK. A good question though Giles.

Cool. Why doesn't anyone ever sandwich a fire blanket in between the wood and the aluminum. There lite and can withstand fires up to 1,076 degree F or in your case, 580 C.

[@flyingkub]

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

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