Thanks for all the nice comments guys!

I enjoyed building the Vega so much that I've begun modifying the plans and am almost ready to start cutting parts for a "Sirius".

Cheers, Nigel

Just saw it at the imaa meet, FANTASTIC, the pictures don't do it justice!

The linkages inside and the hand done door handle really do something for it.

rcbart beat me to it. You have to see this thing in person to appreciate it. The window frames, door hinges and handle. Nigel's getting pissed because people keep trying the door handle to see if it works. Do it right next time Nigel, Make the door functional.

Dave,
Maybe I figured that a fixed door handle would be alright since people should be polite enough not to handle someone elses airplane unless they are invited too.....ya right!
If many more people rub their hands over the top of the wing to see how smooth it is, I'm going to have to cut polish out the paint scratches before it's even been flown!

Cheers, Nigel

After seeing your Vega I came home to burn all my stuff, but the fire hazard is extreme at the moment so I'll have to wait a couple months.

Well I finally got my act together... and it finally stopped raining:



Hmmmm...seems I've forgotten how to upload pics!


I'll try again later! But it flies very well!
