Hi from Canada

[Flyer]

I am new to this forum and find it very interesting. It's amazing what you guys/gals can build in small spaces.

I enjoy woodworking and have recently bought a Oneway 1640 lathe; a fine machine.

I built my own aeroplane mostly out of wood that I enjoy flying.

Hi Flyer. Good to see another Canadian. I live in Ontario, close to Hamilton.

Hi,

It's refreshing to hear from you guys, some Canadians too, eh?

I'll figure out how to attach photographs and you can take a peek at my little Spitfire! In fact it's called a Turner T-40A, but Spitfire will do!

For those in Canada who asked, I live about 30 miles north of Victoria on Vancouver Island.

:shock: Ray

Hi(gh) Flyer. Your plane anything like this one?

Welcome to the forum.

Hi Roger,

That's a nice little two place. Is it yours, and if so did you build it?

I am having some difficulty uploading pictures. How did you upload this one?

My aircraft is a two place but it has the nose gear.

Hi Ray,
Nice to see more Canadians joining this forum. Welcome.

I've learned a lot from the people on this forum and I hope you do also.

Sadly, no. Just found the pic on the net as I was curious as to what your aircraft looked like. Looks nice - and quite quick? I am a flyer tho'. Flew Gnats and Hunters in the RAF in the early '70s. Then I taught hang-gliding and built my own microlight - one of the early skytrike units. These days I just do a bit of gliding.

I am having some difficulty uploading pictures. How did you upload this one?

Here's a tutorial on loading pics.

At the risk of being picky, and coming from a family where my dad served 25 years with the Fleet Air Arm and a further 20 years with BA, 'planes' are something we woodworkers use, stuff that flies in the sky is always an aircraft or aeroplane. If I inadvertently called one a plane I got withering look from the old man such that I thought the sky was going to fall in on me - Rob

Rob,

Sorry about that, best go back to calling ships boats. :roll:

I could run courses on how to make friends and influence people.
