I thought Plymobil was the Australian brand name!

Hmmm ...  ^-^ ...

I'm tempted to make a comment about the Australian accent, Gordon.

However, better that Sylvia only sees one of us poking fun at her countrymen ...  0)

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the encouragement!
I am still pondering the proper pilot..I will try to have it ready for test flight in
about a month.  I sprayed the first coat of sealer/primer on yesterday.

I saw some real interesting paint schemes on a website today.  Fear and common
sense may keep me with the red overall coloring though.
;D

Stay tuned
Jimbo




Hello, Jimbo ...  :wave:

Still staying "tuned" ...  :klickygrin:

It's been about a month, Jimbo ... Any word on your first test flight?

Don't want to "needle" you, as we all know that your beautiful customs take time.
But, how about an update?

Look forward to reading about your progress.

All the best,
Richard (aka Mr. Impatient)

Dear Mr. Impatient ;D

I had a feeling a couple of days ago that the launch date was near.  Thanks for the  nudge. :)
I just finished the propeller...(0626  AZ time)
I will apply a coat of "prop wash" on it, and it will be ready to install.

The flying weather here has been real yucky...

Looks like blue  skies today though, so if the camera works I will take a picture.
I need to round up Knightmo to help me post it though...I am still a bit
computer challenged.

Best regards,
Jimbo

Hi all. :wave:

Quick update..Pictures are taken and Knightmo can help me in a couple of
days to post 'em.
I borrowed a pilot from a Plymobil Curtis float plane I made in '92....he was a bit dusty ;D

Best regards,
Jimbo
