Highly motivated glued the wings together today kit so new half the accessories are not available yet

That's exactly what happens and to the best of us. The plane seems to seek the worst spot to crash.
Hope not much damage to the fuse and lets see you fly it on Saturday if you can.
RE: E Flight Hawker Hurricane - dwils - 11-05-2012
Damage repaired even bent motor shaft love the lathe trying again on Saturday

Me too! I don't know how to drive a lathe (yet) but I'd love one of those small bed versions to turn up things like oleos and motor mount stand-offs, amoungst other things. Would be good to take a bit of raw mild-steel or aluminium bar stock and then make an undercarriage leg out of it ...

If you get one and you want a run down on the basics just me a yell I've made more tons of lathe and mill swarf than I care to remember
and I can show you some neat tricks for sharpening tools and cutters as well.

I also have produced my share swarf , 4 years apprentice toolmaker but was more than 35 years ago, god I feel old, but tricks of the trade have only faded a little.
