Herb>> Keep your eyes open for `The return of the Spitfires` broadcast last night. 38 Spits, Hurricanes and a Blenheim took off from Goodwood (the old RAF field of Westhampnet) split ionto flights and covered the South of England. I saw red flight of 6 Spits routed round the South coast and then Salisbury to Bristol diverting slightly over my home town of Trowbridge were Spits were built, taken my old gliding field at Keevil, 5 miles away and then flown by the ATA to the squadrons. pink flight which was routed Bath to Colerne was running so late I went home. I remember Colerne as an active `drome protecting Bath during the blitz. Several 2 seaters flew. Prince Harry was scheduled for one seat but gave it up to someone else whose Spitfire had gone crook. Good mark for the Royals. I am still scheduled to fly for Oct 28th. They want to feature me in a promo video. I am trying to parlay that into some stick time inspite of `you will not be allowed to touch the controls` in the small print. I can cancel right up to engine start. Unless there are dual controls I think i will do that. Pat From: Herb Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 5:19 PM Subject: Re: Kolb-List: firefly behind schedule...

Yeah. Takes a squirrel or rabbit to enthuse the pups... or a slice of bologna..:-) The panel is held in place by two bolts which are welded to the bottom corners of the lower longeron that defines the access area... Kinda nifty...but the previous builder came up with that(the plane came to me as a quick build )... the bolts have drilled holes and I will get a couple of wing nuts to hold it in place along with a couple of latch pins... He also changed the fuselage to hold a larger gas tank...10 gals...I will place a red line at the 5 gallon mark ! :-) I will do an all up wt and bal with 10 gals just for grins....That would be something on the order of a 520 gross... 490 with 5 gals... By the way... I have heard that stits one part coatings cannot be wet sanded....not so.. I painted part of one wing with the second coat of poly brush before I saw that it was going on like sand paper.... Using 320 and 600 grit took good care of that area....need to be careful with 320 grit on 1.8 oz fabric however.. Herb On 09/17/2015 07:59 PM, Stuart Harner wrote: > > Herb, > > Looking GOOD!
