Found a way to reduce file size.

I found a gray plastic battery hatch cover and put it on the lost and found table.

I took a photo, but the file size is too big for me to upload.

If you wonder if it might be yours, message me your email address and I can send you the photo.

The Other Paul

Definitely a slipping hazard!  Need to wear crampons!!

Looks nice, Guy

Build started a few weeks ago.
The wood is sooooo fragile, many ribs cracked by looking at them.
Although the instructions are complete, I do not think that this is a beginner's kit.
I modified the kit to receive the motor shown in the picture (BR2212) that will be powered by a 2 cell battery.
More sanding and fixing of the dihedral of the outer panels, then covering.
I will use whatever I have in my box of leftover colours. 
   

Thank you @Frank v B for the moral support during the stressful fright.
No damage to the plane, only a screw loose (or lost a loose screw?!?).

It worked Paul.

This resembled a great evening.  No rain, some sun, lighter winds than forecasted. Cross-winds but not that it bothered us.

Thanks to Mark and Paul for trying to sort out the perpetual transmitter issue for new students.  The head-banger issue of the hobby these days.

Photo report:
31- Pool Paul (foreground), new member Kirk and "the other" Paul (Scuse) in the back.
32- Colin (green shirt) showed up for the first time in a while.  Good to see him back with his technology cases. New member Jimmy is sitting down.
33- Guy after his walk of same to retrieve his Spit from the field.  A good decision to land in taller, softer stuff considering it was the first real flight of this re-built airplane.  Here he is summing up his landing technique.
34- Kirk after I lost control of his plane.  I took over when it was low and far away.  The "up" elevator move apparently jettisoned the battery.  A permanent type of BEC*.  The arrows point to the stalks stuck in the fuse and wing.
35- the Alien is back.  Great to see Vadim drop by and fly a drone and his two jets.

I'll be there - I have the
Yellow Hot Dog Knife

I found it!

We can arrange a time when I can return it to you.

The Other Paul (Scuse)

I'll plan to be there!  Thanks Michael.
