Monocock,
Wonderful workmanship, wonderful pictures and descriptions. Thank you for sharing the restoration with us. Your comments about dieting confirmed what I had suspected. I'm long past the age where my weight would have allowed me to fly one.
I love that picture of the wing interior - to me it looks like a model for a futuristic film-set.
I've always liked the Turbulent ever since I first saw one at a Tiger Club display at Ramsgate airport in the late 50s. A red one, I think. My dad was highly amused by the pilot doffing his bowler hat to the crowd as he made a 50' fly by.
I gather from cockney steve's comments that this is a continuation of a thread on "the other site". Is that thread still there or has it been deleted?
Rob,
You must have made a slip of the pen there. I'm sure you're aware that Turbi is not the diminutive for a Turbulent, but is the name for a larger, two-place derivative.
