Hello Stuart,
Still here and "kicking around"!
G-ONCS is going very well, really enjoying aerobating it. I am perfecting the rolling circle, slow roll and 4 point roll, although it will be a far cry from the likes of Mark Jefferies! I would like to find out how Barry Smith does his avalanche (loop with a flick roll at the top). I did some formation flying with a Chipmunk on the way to Seething a week ago. If you haven't seen it have a look at:

FLAT SPIN RECOVERY:OPPOSITE RUDDER
IN TURN AILERONS
FORWARD STICKIf the recovery does not seem to be coming apply full power.
On the note of spin entry: Avoid the use of pro-spin ailerons; this increases the yaw rate which is a good ingredient for a flat spin entry.
How do you fancy a Nipper meeting at Duxford to view the new British Hangar and a general look around?
I am getting the moulds for the cowlings you have soon. I am making slow progress on the 2180cc engine, but it is moving forward.
Hope all is well with you.
Neil
