Guys, I had forgotten about a prior engagement I had today and was reminded of it at 7:30 this morning. I have been trying for the past 10 years to get to a place called The Channels. It is a rock formation on Clinch Mountain and I was asked to go today. I took almost 100 photos and had a blast but got absolutely nothing done on the Bolt. I will get it done but it won't make the deadline. I'm sorry.

 

[brucejscott]

No problem Aaron. Glad you had a good time.

 

[Airframes]

Shame, but no problem Aaron. Good to know you had a good day out though.

 

[Wayne Little]

Disappointed you won't make it over the line, but look forward to you getting it done real soon!

Still Aaron we would like to see the progress. Life goes on.
You're doing a great job on the Bolt.

You couldn't turn up a chanced like that Aaron and no apology needed. It's a shame you won't make the finish but please, would love to see it finished.

Also want to see these photos you took, so I've got my eye on your thread.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks like you had a great day and worth every minute against your chance of missing out on the $10,000 in prizes haned out at these GB's! Like Vic, I look forward to seeing you finish the jug. Just keep this thread going.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I fully intend to keep after it. I gotta get started on Spitt though. When is the deadline for that build?

 

[Crimea_River]

Sept 2. Extended it to the Sunday following August month end.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok. I didn't know when it ended, the Italeri kit has very little in it so I may be able to finish it quicker. Hopefully.

 

[N4521U]

You aren't the first, nor the last that has commitments that get in the way.... The planet is still turning, if you hadn't noticed.
It's blokes like Vic and Me who use this hobby to keep our sanity, might be one or two others. Even so I get behind the eight ball as well.
Looking forward to seeing the Bolt finished down the line.

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I am workin' on it at the moment Bill so you guys won't have to wait to long. I do enjoy it but sometimes it's a little to close to work in similarity.

 

[Wayne Little]

Looking forward to it Aaron...

 

[T Bolt]

Too bad you couldn't finish it on time Aaron, but you're better off taking your time. That kit took a lot longer to put on all the final bits than I thought it would and I had a couple of very late nights to make the deadline. I'm surprised I didn't mess it up. Better off taking your time.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Glenn, I am still going at even at the moment. I cannot believe all of the little stuff. I am about to go crazy. Course,.....there are some who'd say I passed that a loooooong time ago.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok, here is an update. I know. LOOOONGGG overdue. I notice some weird things about this craft when looking at some color photos of the actual plane. So if you see something your not sure of, I'll do my best to explain. Somehow the belly seam has come apart. I will have to see if I can get it glued back together before I start the Future application. I have seen some photos with three drop tanks installed, two 108 gal. tanks on the wings and the 148 gal. slung under the belly. The photos were in the Little Friends 56th photo gallery but didn't see an explaination for this configuration. Anyway, here's what I have so far.
