Thanks Mike...... Yes I once tried the "cliff" at Old Felixstowe but it wasn't up to much. Where can you fly at Bawdsey?

Re: Ebay bargains & tip-offs
I don't know what brand this is....... or how you are supposed to mount it? It looks like a treasure for someone though!

The second is a Babcock compound escapement, not the original lever, the original rudder and elevator levers are made of thin sheet brass. Setup right it can give up and down elevator.
Cheers,

Re: Ebay bargains & tip-offs
Along with the KK Senator I've long liked very much the Caprice. There's a shop on ebay with the re-release complete kit on offer for only £26.91 with free next day delivery. That has to be fantastic value. The offer ends midnight tonight.
The kit had a good write-up in Sept 2018 Aeromodeller which included info on installing 2 channel RC.
So I have a few future kits in the queue :
Aviette Ivinghoe Mk II (partly built)
Goblin
KK Senator
Mercury Swan
and now KK Caprice

Carl,
I can recommend the Aviette Dazzler 30 too, Great single channel rudder only flyer, Mine obviously now has a built up wing, original had foam cored ones.

Re: Ebay bargains & tip-offs
Ron, was your Dazzler built from a kit and you replaced the foam cored wings with built up? Looks nice. I did a Google search and came across your video for the Dazzler:

Hi Carl
I built it from an old plan that I borrowed. It flew much better than I expected.

Re: Ebay bargains & tip-offs
saw this on ebay - a Mule that looks to have been converted to have 2 toggles (a la reed) for control.
