The Bluebird Project

Happy birthday Rob, you kept that quiet, but then again I would do the same at your age

Well done Rob, proud of you mate.
I flew hang gliders for 20 years, but not sure I would do that!!
Cheque's in the post!

Hiya Al. Congrats on the new look website, there's a lot on there I really do prefer. But sorry, I have to agree with DamienB about the new blue background, it's just a bit too vivid for me. Perhaps it's just oldies like me, but if you sit reading a lot of text, it seems to pull your eyes out :lol: ...

Last night, me and the Memsahib were sharing a noggin or two and I was telling her just how magnificent the rebuilt cockpit opening of K7 with her foredeck and canopy rails in place looked and I have to admit to imagining Donald sitting in this really small space and letting an Orpheus loose behind ...

Whatever is needed to make the build easier has been made and all at a sensible cost to the project. When the frame needed to ...

Now watch it, you lot. I’m back from holiday now and catching up with the news and I’m a bit surprised it took 10 posts before the name of the Man among Boys cropped up ;) ;) You can count me in for January and August and if we’re a bit short on the girl’s side, I’ll willingly wear my wig and falsie...

If it’s a bit quiet at the minute, here’s a question involving the fuel tank (POTD). I’m not sure how much fuel the Orph burns per hour, but I gather the tank holds about 45 gallons, so how many miles to the gallon would K7 do? (Or is it gallons to the mile). :? My guess is that she wouldn’t be a lo...
