Thanks Simon
Paul if you want to meet up and have a go at ground handling let me know(see Simons post above)
Ground handling is usually the longest part of the training.

HI Norman
The complete dry weight is 33 kilos.
Static thrust?, I will be trimming the prop for dynamic thrust which in turn will lower the static thrust.
I will have a word with the wife and see if she is up for it ???????

It s alive
I got every thing on today and started it up
it started no problem but does seem to have a compression knock on low RPM which goes as you pick the RPM up a little.
Now to get it run in for the weekend??

Sorry there are no pictures yet but the blue tooth connection on my pc has disappeared
I will try to get some put up soon.
Engine is now fitted including the spacers to allow for the exaste and prop clearance.
Home made throttle is done.
Half the wiring is in.
I had to cut nearly all of the back (engine side) out of the fuel tank and fit a flatter piece in to clear the spark plug (have you ever tried plastic welding AAAAHHHHHHHHH)
I am hoping to have it up and running for the 12/13 training day
