Hi Ian,

I see you've demoted Rich - only a lowly Lt.

TTFN,
Neil

Oh thank you Ian,Top job, looks even better with the nose art and new numbers/letters on the side. One very happy bunny.

Can't wait to fly it again.

Cheers Richard.

Demoted ? Must not be the same chap....Scarbrough / Scarborough..................or.................has the name been changed to protect the
reputation of the pilot ( s ) ?

Makes a change for someone to actually spell my surname correctly

well done Nigel

Just to fasten the canopy on now and its back to Pylons gaff with it, though he has even less room now with the arrival of the Shooting Star!! The cheapo (if anything with Topflite written on it can ever be called that!!) vac formed radial turned out well enough, though its a pain to get he cowl on and off even with a sizeable gap round the crankshaft, not my problem though

Ian.

matrock19 · « **Reply #85 on:** May 15, 2012, 20:45:43 PM »

Aaa ....apologies Mr Scarbrough.....I did do a little research before making the observation.
I put your name with BMFA into Google and got the Nats results lists which has you with the extra " o ".
Made the assumption that they were correct.

Glad Nigel was better informed. " Soz " as they say at work.

PS. Is it too late to say how fab it now looks. Good job Ian.

Hello Ian,
I can not explain how inspiring this fix thread is to me. You show what can be done.
Very inspiring.
Take care,
Albert

pylon² · « **Reply #93 on:** May 19, 2012, 20:39:28 PM »

Yay!! back in the hangar now. See what you mean about the cowl Ian, just need to re-fit and replace all tank pipes/tank etc and re-install Rx. Hope to test flight next weekend or in the week if possible.
Many many thanks Ian.

Pylon.

Can we have a lil vid of the re-maiden?

nmacwarbirds · « **Reply #95 on:** May 19, 2012, 23:11:15 PM »

Can you let us know what it flies like?

Regards Phil G.

pylon² · « **Reply #96 on:** May 27, 2012, 20:52:58 PM »

Got it already to go now, fitted new tank, new harnesses, and replaced some switches.
May test fly in week.
Cheers Richard.

Great news Richard, I look forward to seeing it soon. How low does it fly?

The Os patch is looking pretty tidy too

I thought that Alan, it looks like a bowling green,
the Corsair does not look too bad either.

I suppose it has to. We wouldn't want a long strand of grass snagging the Corsairs wing tip as Richard does one of his special passes!

pylon² · « **Reply #104 on:** May 29, 2012, 18:45:56 PM »

I don't fly that low anymore

the Corsair did look good though skimming the grass

Seriously,the grass is looking better than ever, Derek certainly does us proud with the site. It has actually been widened by 6m for this year

Richard.

Norfolk'n'Good · « **Reply #105 on:** May 29, 2012, 18:49:06 PM »

Both airframe and patch look spotless

Well done Ian for getting her back together top job

pylon² · « **Reply #106 on:** June 20, 2012, 22:58:50 PM »

Yeah, flies as good as before

mR JoLLy · « **Reply #107 on:** June 21, 2012, 06:37:22 AM »

Oh look I can see the field under the wings where the wheels should be.

Now . . . . no grass cutting Mr S!

Very nice indeed.

Good to see you're still campaigning the Corsair Mr. Pylon, are you managing to land with the same diameter prop you took off with?

I still have that prop in my model room from my old Bones Corsair which had the touch and go/land

They were the days!!!
Come to Osbournby, maybe we can live old times

Hope to have my Zero/Hellcat for then too

Cheers Richard.

Brilliant! I always thought there was a good reason for the Corsair having a gull wing.
