Top find Damo. I have been wanting one of these in a decent scale for years. Price is a turn off though.

I know you Damo! I bet after having seen how pathetically small my stash is, you've decided to help sort this out for me - DAMN YOU!

Ah crap! I had to buy it didn't I, as well as a HPH 1/32 Zlin Trener. This boosts the stash to a record of 40+ kits! I know, I know - pathetically small by your standards!

Thanks pal for this find! The Extra 330SC is my fav aerobatic aeroplane. It's most likely what I'd buy if Mr. Tatts came a knocking at my door! Out of interest, I heard from a mate at my "do" that two Aussies are heading over to Europe to compete at either the European aerobatic championships or the WAC's soon and will hire a 330SC - can you imagine how much that will cost? I'll at least have my little 1/32 330SC to zoom around the house with :cry:

There's now every possibility I'll be able to fly a Laser down at LTV - yay! And one fitted with a Whirlwind prop! :D

Aww c'mon Adam...you know it's not the size that counts, but how you use it! And given your build-rate is far greater than mine, I'd concede you have the better of it :lol:
BTW, started looking into a tailwheel endo...something I've always wanted to do. There's a mob out at Lilydale that uses a Tigermoth....if the price is right..

Very interesting Herr Cap'n! It would be very cool to do it in a Tiger - been for a ride in one once. The Tiger will teach you to you those foot rest things - rudder pedals I think they're called! Lots of adverse yaw in a Tiger with those big wings and rigging. How about doing it at YMMB in a Decath? Decath's are such lovely aeroplanes - then you can do your aero's endorsement - Moh Hah Hah Hah!

Very glad to hear you are considering flying real aeroplanes with a tailwheel and stick - proper aeroplanes! I shall refer to you as "Cap'n Damo von Dreadful" when you get your t/w and aero's endorsement in either a Tiger or a Decath :D

I was thinking that about the Spit mate. But it's a shitload of $$$ though. I'll definitely pass on it me thinks :)
