Three skids under the lower tailplane elevator.

That will be the one.

I note the progress on the "challenge" thread. The Hiller was easy - I found it some time ago.

Back to you.

Thanks for the Champagne mate.

Its 1530 hrs here and around 45 mins ago I drilled a 4mm hole through a hot water pipe. Thought I'd have a look at SC while the plumber repairs it.

Is this a French/American collaboration for the USCG?...



Julie is very unhappy with me, and I've got some serious cleaning up to do this afternoon/evening.

Best I make it open house if correct. Cheers.
