Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

Most of the folk who contribute to this website Andy will confirm that I will be using the R/C props in the appropriate manner.
Will post you a couple of pics of the all metal Raveau with a stacked straight six that needs a two blade right handed-----then there's the triple pickle Jones with Vee sixes------that's been on the shelf for the best part of a year awaiting propulsion!
Had to dump Warby's "Spirit of Australia" ------its been stuck outside for two years because of lack of room, and the damn thing is just too big.
A couple of "GOONIE SCHOONERS" with full rigging are due for the bonfire, don't have time to fart about with any of the old stuff that's been cluttering up the shelves for far too long.
Found an ally in John Schubert who I am sending a few pieces, for him to put the finishing touches to-----the Triple Jones will probably wind up in his hands.
So Andy, the upshot of all this, is , your props will be going to a good home on to concepts that only true enthusiasts will own one day.
Its 6:00 am here------give me a couple of hours to get my rear in gear, and I'll post you a few pictures of what the hells going on in this neck of the woods.
I asked Jilly if she had seen the steam roller-----she asked "what steam roller" --------I said , the one that ran over me during the night and broke every bone in my body------ at least, that's what it feels like-------must be sickening for something .

There you go Andy------the Jones triple and the Raveau Looper-----that's where four of the props will wind up !

Jackie.. I think this "birthday sex" event thing has taken it out of you in more ways than one, you'd better have a paramedic parked outside on standby

for you 86th....lol

[jackiewilson]

hey john, look what i just found in yhe last box to be unpacked-------thought i sent you this last november

[jackiewilson]

out of chaos comes order--------end of the week maybe ?

[John Schubert]

Jackie, do you mean me? And what is it?

[jackiewilson]

Yes, i did mean you john, its been so long since i parcelled it up i damn well gone and forgot what it was ?
I think its the raveau------i packed it so well it would be a shame to undo it!
Will send you the base for it with the triple jones, thats if the game s still on,
guess this is what happens when the marbles fall out of the bag-------have to see if i can mend the hole ?
God must still be cross with us here in england----hes been pittling on us for 24 hours non stop with no sign of a let up--------still, not to worry, we got "doris" coming tomorrow, just for good measure.

So Jackie there will be three coats to detail. I know the scheme for the C-7 Terrell, but I'll need to know if the others need anything other then varnish & who they go to when finished.

[jackiewilson]

You got a free hand with the Triple Pickle Jones------don't believe there ever was one John.
When it's done, take it to Tavares with you-----see what happens-----your choice my friend.

In bed with the dreaded lurgy------first time in my life I did this. Feel like I just done 15 rounds with Mike Tyson!

..... Feel like I just done 15 rounds with Mike Tyson!

That explains your mirrors reflection

Just cause it's your birthday .....

Tis you trying to master the infamous DC-9 in Berlin a mere 46 years ago! Happy B-Day!

I already knew that- I was just busting balls- lol . Dont burn anything, I would love to have one of your " creations " - shoot me your shipping info and I will get the propulsion otw- How many more do you need ??? I will reach out to some of the other guys and get you whatever you need. To have simply supplied something to this thread and your creations is enough for me.........

[fichrman2]
