Nick Gates Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi All, new here. I thought you might like to see this Bullet. It was built about 40 years ago by Jeff Watts when he worked for Crescent Products. It was part finished (ready for spraying) when the company ceased trading. It ended up in his loft until I bought it from him a couple of months ago.It came with a Super Tigre 40, and pictures of Jeff working at CP all those years ago. Although never delivered, it was ordered and built for Hanno Prettner, with the best balsa selected.So far I have repaired the lifting wing veneers, made a rudder and ailerons, and sprayed the same. The engine I have removed, cleaned, freed up and run.So far so good!My other HP model is a Stratos, and favourite pattern model is a Wolfgang Matt Arrow (40 size), built in '81.No idea how one posts pictures!!

Jim Purcha Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 You create an album and can add or edit picture in the album. Then use the camera icon in the post menu to add the picture from the album to the post. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
