Thanks
Many many Thanks guys. Your input is absolutely fantastic.
it seems to me that the underlying message is, anything is possible; find a plane you want, then adapt it.
i think what i need to do is make a list, then get my tail feathers into every one on that list, to see what suits then take it from there. After all, when you have bits missing like me, even the smallest thing makes the biggest difference....
thanks very very much guys.
