thankyou all
massive thanks to all the chipped in and got a badge - its a little thing but it means a lot and helps keep this dream alive
i know there hasnt been much progress for too long but now i have the funds in place to get the 2 motors together
motors are out of the stump puller as of this afternoon and i have dug out all my part engines to help make up the parts deficit
i have amassed 3 sets of cases that are old enough to drop in class so theres a chance i might even manage a spare engine to take with me
they are off to polish etc as soon as they open up after the new year. then its on
might not be the xmas tree knucklehead photo everyones seen but its all mine :)
