In realise I probably should have initially used another paint type but I have committed to using Randolph both Butyrate and Enamel as they trace back to my airplanes original 1940 colour cheme.

I get brilliant results with the enamel when I spray small components, gear legs,hinge brackets etc BUT ...

Why on earth do people insist on throwing large aircraft about at low level over populated areas. They may be very skilled but ALL of these flights fall into the catagory of 'NOT IF BUT WHEN'.
However skilled you are when operating on the extreme edge of the performance envelope if anything goes ...

I am looking for a small length of some Steel Streamline tube of Major axis 0.880" & minor axis 0.375". 3 or 4 inches would be enough. It is for a non structual door open stay repair. 4130 preferred but not essential. Non of the usual suppliers seem to stock this size so any small offcut you have ...

Thanks for that but unfortunately LAS only do a max of 8 ft lengths hence the order via Spruce EU.

Have just bought some from Aircraft Spruce Europe which was very reasonable despite the 85 Euro shipping cost due to being oversize. Amazingly enough it still worked out cheaper than buying from a UK supplier. WHY?
Thanks for the replies

Does anyone have any 1/2" od 4130 chrome Moly tube in 9 foot lengths left over from their project ? I am looking for 2 or 3 lengths in 0.28" or 0.35" wall thickness. They are needed for wing tip bows. Thanks.

Have now got the plywood I needed, thanks to Paul at TLAC. Much appreciated

Birch GL1 Plwood 3mm.

Does anyone have an offcut they could sell me?

Looking for 22" x 5" (550mm x 130mm) minimum with grain in direction of longest edge.

Thanks Ash Bourne

I'll look for it on Monday when I'm there next, and can find out the ...

Does anyone have a supplier for good quality 3/16" felt ? I need some to cover my tank bay ribs and supports. I need around 24 feet of 1" wide or 12 feet of 2" wide etc. Spruce have 1/4" but I have to buy a 36" sheet which is not that convenient.
