Since we have an improvement in the weather I have taken some pics!
Many apologies to the tidy workshop police....

Mine's worse than that, Malcolm - but look what a thing of beauty has come out of yours.

Here are some 3d printed parts for the Oly.
Cliff very kindly printed the airbrake levers and elevator horn using carbon filament.
The other items I have been using my lockdown time learning about 3d printing - fascinating.
The instrument panel was fun to do - I even included a Cosim Vario!
The canopy latches were also printed.
Nigel I am looking forward to meeting up at Aggie Head. I think we could all do with a bit of fresh air now ( after I have given the workshop a spring clean.
Anyway, back to the endless filling, fairing, sanding, filling, fairing, sanding..........

I hang my head in shame on the state of the workshop but I do seem to create lots and lots of shavings and sawdust. It is slightly tidier now.
Just realised a fairly massive error.
I have built a quarter scale version of Southdown Gliding Club's Supercub to tow my quarter scale CW Minimoa but that would be all wrong in front of a third scale Oly.
Project for next lockdown - 1/3 scale Cub!
