Hello All from South Australia.    My name is Bill [lantain1982] and this is my first post on this forum.   I joined to share in the knowledge that can be provided by forums such as this.   I am retired and spent my working life in high volume machine shops and foundrys.   I have built a couple of steamers, a 3.5"g Mountaineer and a 71/4" Kerr Stuart. Since retirement in ,99 I have completed a BentlyBR2 to Lew Blackmores` details, a 1/4 scale Cirrus from plans in SIC  magazine and Les Chenerys` Aeronca.  The latter is giving me a bit of grief in getting it to fire up so to offset the frustration I am well on the way to finishing a Twin cylinder Hoglet. As you can see I spend quiet a bit of time in the workshop.   I have a well equipped workshop, all belt driven, no CNC.       Once having learnt the system I hope to post some photos.
