My neck of the woods. Been watching this from the air ( well I can)

Any pics of T1? And what sort of $$ you looking at? " if anyone's is still interested in thrusters"? Hell yeh we are And in a few months everyone will want a Jack Flyer type plane .... Note...And we may need them for filming purposes ;)

I fitted the spats, as to the robin.. Agree 100%. Best little eng of all time.. The original robin had done 400+hrs but during inspection noticed a slight head gasket weep. She never skipped a beat though. I then was lucky enough to get a present from my old CFI a 17hr replacement( looked brand new) and again never missed a beat .

Pics of the old girl

It ran the factory Fuji robin ec44... Beautiful engine
-
T83- 49 were made. In small batches , all a little different. Mine could never be determined having serial removed long ago, best guess was from an early batch? Note no jury struts. Bring back memories?
-
Yeh it had the recalled strutt mounts done but still sported the original skins. I planed on refitting top and bottom Baton skins with the help from Tony Tiffin but after a betsometer test on original wing skins decided to keep her as original as possible. I also found out ( not verified) that mine had the first factory retro fit doors and cabin back.?
-
Yeh I always found it curious as to why they called them single surface but was told they called it that because it had no lower batons and the lower surface pushes up to the top making the wingframe visible in flight. But you would know more than I Oz
-
Oh but had the patented collaspible main wing frames. Just No underside batons :)
-
No wuggers Oz, All the t- 83 were originally single surfaced( only have top wing batons none undernieth.

I will NOT post links or anything like that and always planned on following appropriate channels threw Ian if he is keen. I believe I already owe him a free signed copy, for all the free advertising ( so to speak).

My opinion! I think the last one( nieuport lightning) catches your eye more if walking past.. However the new one ( trusty thrusty) less eye catching from at a glance but is neater and more relevant to the majority . I sit I pad in full screen on book shelf with other bright books to see what catches my eye as I walk past (my theory any way lol) Thank you so much for your respected opinions
-
Or this.?
