Ok  thats great, maybe give me something to do during cold winter days, I've been clearing out the shed
(loads on ebay) so I can pull it down (before it falls down) & build another one only bigger fancy a 12' x 12'
(just gotta get that past the wife) the old ones 12' x 8' but they never seem to be big enough do they! certainly wouldn't be enough room for your collection mate, how many have you got now? I've got mine down to about twenty, trouble is there's always half a dozen either on the go or being thought about ain't there.

Hi Charlie... I got a 20ft x 10ft shed about 3 years ago. You need a big shed... Yup..
I'd say I've got too many 'planes again. Problems storing them all... 21 'planes at the moment, I've just sold a load but bought 3 more by accident, which means 3 of them haven't got a tx allocated at the moment. I've just been 'speaking' to a bloke on another forum... we're talking about him building me a 66 inch span Westland Whirlwind,  more of a long term project for next year. I've never commissioned a proper full scratch build... I'm a bit excited!!

thats a lovely plane, I've just picked up a plan for a  Mosquito 36" but I recon to double it up to 72" or there abouts, about right for a reasonable Mossy, & still got that Depron Lanc to sort out, the De Agostini Spit & a 63" Pico Spit that just needs paint. Where do I start..........I know build the bloody shed first.     
BTW I can maybe squeeze another 2' on the length of the shed as it's got the boss's greenhouse on the end so will probably make it the 4' bigger the other way.

Hey Brod... that tops anything of mine.... 7ft span and a petrol engine ......whooo-eee!!  :o  You need to post a vid ..... for us to drool over... 'Aero-porn'....
Charlie... you could go down and create a basement, or go up and add an upstairs  :laugh:...    it's a mad obsession innit!
