As I remember it was model with extension with bubble canopy too. I wonder if it will be here as an option. :wavey:

Thx for the bubble canopy!

More pictures (from AHs FB) :):













Looks really nice! Nice to see also non-default pilots! Well done.
 
Can't wait to fly this. Been enjoying my own import/conversion for a over a year now. Got all the dials working as well as the compass etc. Is a beauty to fly! I much prefer the flight handling of my imports to the majority of the native planes which handle so badly. Hope this one flies a treat.

Lucky man! :biggrin-new:
 
Used to see them fly at Fort Erie way back in the late '60's - along with a nice Tiger Moth and the usual C170's and so on.

looking forward to Ant's Tiger Moth and this Chipmunk from AH - wondering if we might see either one this weekend (Father's Day, eh)
 
We have installed period Nav radios also. The RMI and NAV gauges can be toggled on in the rear cockpit when required.

It has been 9 days. For some perspective.

It has been 14 days since we have been able to buy a lettuce with other shelves empty of other items as well. ( vegans are getting murderous in the shops right now )
I got another 38 days to wait for a $4.95 gopro windslayer which could be sent via a letter to arrive from china ( who is on our doorstep )
It took 2 months for a set of rabbit ear bars to arrive from america.

It has been ... 9 days. It is super close.

TO all

Remember those halcyon days before the pandemic/wars/political issues. The air smelt young and fresh and every day the sounds of birds could be heard and the smell of flowers in the air while the sun peeked over the rolling hills of lavender and big majestic pines... when an announcement could be made and it was a given that it would take time.

That time would be like the time your gran would put into baking that cosy comfy apple pie that would be waiting for you on the window ledge as you frolic in the fields flying your westland lysander made of balsa wood and a rubber band. Those days where you would go on your bike ( probably helmet less ) and go out into the community and ride around without fear and prejudice to come home to a steaming mug of good soup and that previous mentioned apple pie. And after you finished and took your plate to the sink , which you washed up yourself as a thank you to your gran for making such a wonderful soup and pie, you raced off to the special table. The special table that reeked of mineral turps and humbrol paints. And you started in on your 1:48 spitfire that your dad bought you, with a slightly shaky hand on the tube of glue hoping that you wouldnt ruin the plastic canopy with glue run off, in the knowledge that this would take a few more days or even a week but you didnt care because you were sitting at your table with good food in the belly , your family around you, making a spitfire and the ogre of school/work was far enough away to not temper that beaming smile that crashed across your face like the sun does over the rolling hills of lavender and big majestic pines.

I do.
