I have a full set of scale 1/4 plans for a RC Fu 24, had them laminated and brought some of the balsa and spruce for building. The wing span alone is just over 3m. All the ribs, spar and fuselage pieces are all to scale. One day I will get round too building it.

The one at the foot of the Mount is where I use to go during my childhood weekends with my grandparents, the missus and I also got married on the beach there, up near the war memorial. Near that camp you do have the hot pools, but there's really only one direction to go from there, and from what I can remember there isn't much there. The cafe (can't remember the name) near the camp site has awesome food /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />

Thanks for that Ian. I've sent AVSIM an email so hopefully it should be fixed sometime this year. EDIT: Ok, it's working now. I switched to Firefox and all is working. Was using IE8.

Thanks Paul. Yes I'm very often round Skagway. But not alone, 'cause other bush pilots are with me. www.bush-pilots.net is my (german) forum.

Despite figuring on this thread a year or so back using AVG, I switched to Avast which I used for some time, before advice put me onto MSSE as above. I have used this now for about 6 months and quite like it, very unobtrusive, and recommended by a lot of technical people.

Awsome explanation, not the way i learn't it in Geography ha!

Yep - making this key turning would have been the icing on the cake. But there were sooo many other things to prepare... /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif />

yea i bought a 9800GTX+ from pconlineshop last year and they sent me out a 9800GT Green Edition card. not really what i had in mind, lucky after a week of emailing i got them to accept it back and they refunded me the card price

James , its lucky they have one very skilled , in a way a 'panel beater' in the restoration , you recall the P-40 radiator cowling , that was basicly hand done - now that,s skill , the Vampire will not be a problem .

It was as gaudy as I could make it lol

One would hope that Airbus and Boeing build reliable planes that don't malfunction often thus requiring diverts into less than adequate runways !!

Does anyone knows William Shin from Christchurch? He is kicking soccer in our neighbor village. His Familiys house in CHCH is broken.
