Battle of Britain Day 2020

Postby GraemeSmith » Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:17 pm

Not the White Cliffs of Dover. The south coast beaches of Rhode Island and Massachusetts on Battle of Britain Day - 2020

The Sonex has something like a Malcom Hood, it has a LEFT turning engine like the Merlin. Throttle in left hand, stick in right. I'm just short about 900hp!

Not me - the builder.

It's a thin Naugahyde type textured vinyl. Held around the edges by velcro.
