I see you have a new runway at your field are you going to do a video for people to find you? I hope I am about when you visit.

Yes we now have 08/26. It’s just as undulating as 13/31 and very much shorter but has made a huge difference to flyability. I will ask one of the guys with video to make a how to find us ! Will let you know when I’m Cromer bound. G-CCMC.

@@clearprop not sure interesting but I think there will be a better video about my workplace coming up in the not too distant future on another channel.

@@electoplater Sherwood Rangers yes and Sherwood Kubs and Scouts but not with Sky Rangers.

@@Lawiah0 thank you, did you see the firewall is now sealed?

@@flyingkub yes, firewall sealed

Well I have been asked so often, I thought there would be a few who had not asked but wanted to know, what I did.

Just a little video.

No I did fly gliders as a cadet from RAF Swanton Morley but as for being based there, no, nearest posting to them would have been either Marham or Coltishall. Just thought, if you were at RAF Swanton Morley you might have met me there as I was there regularly dealing with NDT and composite repair systems.

@@flyingkub I'm sure our paths have crossed. Did you have many dealings with the CSDE Tool Cell at Swanton Morley (and later Wyton), or an ex chief called Jim Wild?

@@combatwombat71 Mid to late 80's I did have some dealings with the Tool Cell when I did some work with the Victor Adit.

@@flyingkub I meant to mention - I did know one of the NDT guys at Swanton, as we were both involved with the model aircraft club. Steve (Cotter?) Surname might be wrong - long time ago! Also Ginge Reese big into the model flying but can't remember if he was NDT team or not.

@@combatwombat71 So we might have met through models, I flew aerobatics, helicopters and other, mainly at the Downham club but also RAF comps.

@@ShortField like you are unable to find us Terry 😀

I like it, would it go like this? "In 100yds turn left at the gray cloud and continue 2.4 miles" 🙂

I might get more people there but more better still they can find the place, these grass airstrips tend to vanish in the green fields that suround them and can be easy to miss without knowing the land marks.

I wipe it over with a light oil, that will be easy to clean off and put it in a tube with silica gel but make sure it is not in contact with the steel. I then use brake cleaner to degrease it before use and then wire brush it or sand it to a bright finish before welding.

Thanks so much for that Algy. Had searched Bingelis but in vain!

@@nickbarsby3378 Glad I could help, I have kept steel like that for years.

I did plan to go to Priory but was told the day before that it would probably be off due to water logging so ended up do chores.

I have been contemplating weight reduction on the plane all along.

@@flyingkub I know you have! Was just teasing!

Well I have started a diet so a bit tender :-)

Ha Ha I love it, the problem is they have their design engineers miles away from the production area.

Thanks, I do think they with do. Yes a bit of good old speed tape to maintain the edge seal wrap on the fireproofing.

I hope so, it is based on the method seen used on other aircraft types.

@@clearprop thanks for watching. It's good to make some progress again.

@@Jean-MarcMaldague no the stringers are as per the plan but have additional support not shown on the plan. If I remember correctly there is more detail in the following video. The stringers are not structural, they are there for the covering to give shape.

Hello, yes I know this isn't structural, I thought that just the covering could bend these thin piece of wood. I'll go ahead with the drawing dims and add some support, not easy when going to the rear of the fuselage as there is non plywood everywhere. Thanks, rgds, Jm

@@Jean-MarcMaldague I think in the next video I show how I fit them to the cross members. They have stood up well to my covering.

@@JodelFlyer thanks Tim, hope to continue making progress. Always good to know the videos are of interest.

@@outlawflyer7868 I don't know it's light and cost effective as well. Actually the Carbolane paper bit is stable at 1250degC or 2282degF

@@flyingkub 1 blanket is 1 pound

@@outlawflyer7868 this stuff only a fiver and copes with more but your fire blanket is a reasonable cheap option.

Yes T88 has a shelf life but as it is a none structural part I was happy to use it (2 months over) I don't have any more structural bonding to do and if I find some I have forgoten about I will use West Systems aircraft approved resin, which is available in the UK. A good question though Giles.

Thanks as normal.

@@Payne2view thanks I thought it was a reasonable solution. Hope to get a chance to look at your jaguar video, you know I worked on them at RAF Coltishall.

@@michaelchartres thank you for your kind comment. I am acclimatising to the medication, so managing to do a little on the build.

@@jimmyboy163 looking forward to seeing those videos.

It would be good to complete the circle and fly into it, hopefully on a date I can come an join you.

I do try to get to other fields for fun. I don't think you are alown in that but I saw it on my prep when I first flew there 5 years ago, on Google Earth . It just shows that good prop using resorces like Google Earth really help when going to a new field. I seem to remember you doing a video on your prep and using Google Earth before to some random farm stip on the coast some place. Thanks for watching Terry.

No problem, one day I will have to fly down your way and take you up in a two seater,probably the same time as I visit Robert 🙂

I look forward to that Algy. Maybe you could fly along the Sirhowy Valley passing my home..

@@michaelchartres you never know, I may fly a company aircraft to a fly in near you next year.

So now you believe me it is there 🙂You have only flown over it and taxied by a few dozen times 🙂Must be the blood rush you get with S1's

Lol ! No, not that ! Its just so narrow that it looks like a grass verge ... and it matches the verge on the opposite side of the hard runway ! Basically it’s cunningly disguised to keep Pittses off of it 😂

@@s1spittsdriver Narrow?!? Sorry I forgot how Massive the S1 wingspan is 🙂 Truthfully it is not that wide and I forget that the S1 has poor forward viz.

You are more than welcome, one day I will have to fly down your way and take you up in a two seater.

@@mindfulmunchkin1215 no I have not had the pleasure of flying a Youngster but I have flown a classic in the USA and it handles very well.

@@ave3d624 I will take that as a compliment and thank you.

@@flyingkub The work is afraid of the master. There was a wrong translation)

@@ave3d624 no problem.

You are very welcome.

@@clearprop the weather is getting worse so there will be less flying and more building I'm sure.

🙂

@@JodelFlyer very true, autumn is already here, thankfully Cromer drains well.

@@Lawiah0 thanks as always.

I am sure God did see me make progress but it was good that you also looked at my video 🙂It is only a little bit of progress but I do feel a little more awake in the evenings so should be able to make a little more progress.

It has been very warm in the workshop and I have been enjoying flying too much , trying to catch up on my normal hours, still about 10 hours behind last year at this time.

@@flyingkub get the flying in whilst the weather is good.

@@stevewallace1359 I will do my best; that said, I am getting some flight time at work as well, doing testing.

They are there to allow a degree of miss alignment when you first put the cowl on you don't tighten those ones full until the fixed ones are in; it is better than having over size holes in the fibreglass.

Good to be back at it. :-)

@@JodelFlyer the funny thing was I was to the left of the field deliberately, so I could see it when I was told to look left so missed it all good fun. Love the Chipmunk, if I could afford one and to run it, I would not hesitate.

@@JodelFlyer I will let you know next time I fly down there. It is lovely field the only down side is the landing fee is a bit high but not terrible.

@@Payne2view it was a busy time, when I went over Norwich, a lot of radio going on. The Chipmunk ride has made that the trip of the year.

My wife had a good laugh as it is normally her telling me to go the wrong way. Chipmuck ride was just great took me right back to being 17.

If you ask he might, the number is on Skydemon :-)

You could always ask nicely Terry.

Yes Terry you would be welcome, as Algy says airfield details and my number is on SkyDemon.

@@kenskelso Wow cheers Ken I'll give you a call sir.

@@kenskelso I thought he would be. I hope you approve of the video.

Thanks Roy, you know Great Oakley is a lovely airfield.

Thank you Giles for your support and watching.

Nice to know that it was found enjoyable and informative. Thank you for watching and commenting.

At the moment I am playing catch up with my flying hours after the slow start of summer and the illness is still slowing me down in the evenings, so the build has suffered a bit but we are getting to the end of the hight stress bits of work at work and I am starting to adapt to the medication and hav edone a few little bits on the aircraft which will be put into a catch up video soon. I was thinking it might have been ready by october this year but whenI got the diagnosis and work ramped up for that project, coming home tired and having a nap after supper, it just got a bit too much.

Having lived through the expeirence of watching my late wife suffer the effects of cancer treatment, I can fully understand how it is effecting you. All I can do is wish you all the best. Regards Michael

Thank you for your kind thoughts. At least things are looking up my count has gone from 565 down to 5.9 so that is positive.

I've avidly followed your build videos from the outset but wasn't aware of the nature of your illness Algy. All I can say by way of support is that I was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 but that I am now fit and well. There is very much a life after cancer. So much so that, with your inspiration, I am currently preparing my workshop in readiness to build a Nicollier Menestrel. Just wish I too had a Kub to keep me current!

Your comment is very humbling, that my videos can have an influance on anyone is just amazing to me. I am returning to something like my preillness level of fittness so hopefully within a month or two I will be getting back to full swing building, provided the finances can keep up. Thank you for you kind comments and some video of build is coming up.
