Hi Rick

Sorry to hear about your problem with gravity. Glad you're able to talk
about it still.

Have a great New Year All .

Thanks Nige !

My work on the plane came to an ABRUPT & very ungraceful stop yesterday
....

I was fitting the new screen - (which I have managed to crack by the way
:o( :o( :o( ...... so I'll have to order another one when Greg Gordon
orders his fuse' kit soon

I was standing on several stacked milk crates (ours are a molded plastic
box - that kinda interlock (sortof)) .... and I went to step back onto the
next one & that's the last thing I remember ....

Woke up in a pool of blood & the ambulance arrived shortly thereafter -
(thanks to the guy who was inside the plane - holding a spanner, helping
me )

6 hours in hospital, lotsa stiches in my head ... and I don't feel real
flash at present - the doc says it'll take a week or so to "feel normal"
again

Funny aint it !?! .... I manage to bend the plane & don't get so much as a
scratch ..... but I end up in hospital while workin on it ! ... Ha !

Happy new year guys 'n' gals !

naughty boy !)

G'day Guys 'n' Gals !!!

Rick Harper here in OZ again ... ( long time no hear - I hear you
say
! )

I have a....l....m....o....s...t...... finished rebuilding our
REBEL -
after my "less than graceful arrival" about a year & a half back ..... (
also, my dad passed away 6 months ago too - and this STOPPED any work on
the
plane for over 5 months , while I sorted my mum out :o(

I couldn't afford to purchase one of Angus McKenzie's excellent cuff
kits
... so I made a set of my own - ( with the serious help of an aircraft
designer friend of mine here in OZ )

I've also bought 2 sets of Vortex Generators - which is why I need your
help / advice.

Can any of you out there please give me your opinions / findings as to
WHERE the BEST placement is for VG's on :

The wings
The stabilisers
The Tail / Rudder

PICTURES would be really nice too !!!
Failing that ..... accurate descriptions & measurements ?!?

BTW : I now have a cuff on the leading adge .... slightly "bigger" /
more
substantial than Angus' design !

Many Thanks Folks !!!

and ALL the BEST for CHRISSY to you ALL from Wendy & I

Rick Harper
"Biggus"

PS : I'm sending THIS e-mail as I literally walk out the door - to spend
tonight & all of tomorrow working on our REBEL ... (so I may not get to
see
any replies until late Thursday night (my end - "down under")
