    Mike is doing some amazing work on Scrappy at the moment - Draco will get resurrected after this. Scrappy has 500HP up front so needs quite a bit of mods almost everywhere else to cope. Going to be a killer build and aircraft all on its own. 👍

    You forgot steadfastness and courage in the face of extreme adversity. Otherwise I could not agree more. But then, Shute had a genius most of us can never grasp. My favourite author ever.

    Not sure if anyone else is following Scrappy’s build - but he’s reached a milestone - He’s Alive!

    Wings will be the next thing, then he’s almost ready for a test flight - this thing is going to be awesome.

    I suspect that is basically the same engine that was in the Comanche 400. I remember reading a test flight of one when it first came out. Following a normal start from its home base, started three times at landings away using external power, and after the fourth landing they came home by airline.

    Interesting to read about Nevil Shute.

    I read many of his books when I was young and have a few on my shelf.

    Another author some of you might know , and would appreciate if you like Nevil Shute , is Richard Bach.

    Probably start with Jonathon Livingstone Seagull.....do not watch the film....and go in your own direction from there.

    With Scrappy getting closer to completion, Mike has just announced he’s starting on Draco. Whole new build with 10 major improvements so he’s naming it Draco X. Going to be another interesting build. 😊👍

    Scrappy is almost finished, the engineering in the wings is incredible. If you’ve not seen the last few episodes on this, go check them out.
