Hi Phil,

I wondered where you had got to as we hadn't heard anything from you in a while. Looks as though you have a fair old project to keep you busy through the winter. I am looking for something to do, I might even go back to work on traction engine I was building before I got in to tanks about 4 years ago. At the moment I am putting together a Protech glider kit I bought about 15 years ago and that has been in the box ever since. Also programming two Animatronic figures for the Tiger, will have a video soon.

Dennis.

Hi Dennis
Yes I did something a bit different after the Tiger1,I bought an Air Wolf Fuselage
7.5 to 1 scale I think,to put one of my Heli's in.
Its more than 1800mm long :)
I saw you at the show with your great truck,but I think I spent a lot of the time round
the museum,I hadn't been befor.
Look forward to seeing your aminatronics video.
Regards
Phil
