Moved the Bike into the garage, looks like the engine beautification can be done in situ, going to paint the side panels this weekend then I’ll set them against the tank to show the colour difference.

Fit an original headlamp at the same time.

Nice if you can do it in situ Spitty, particularly if that’s all it needs. 
BTW what’s the prop and engine on the right hand side of your second picture?
Looks like a micro light on the floor Spitty ??

The engine is a 62cc Zenoah, the plane is a 1/3 scale Cap 231. It should really be running an 100cc motor, can you see in the photo, the amount of lead above the firewall to achieve the C of G, with the heavier engine, this could be dispensed with.

Was going to get some Candy Red paint on the Honda side panels this weekend, but, I’ve found out this has to be applied to a silver basecoat so, I hope this arrives on time.

Not much flying been done this last year or so, all the clubs have been shut although it one of the safest pastimes not to pass on viruses, electric Park Flyers are all that could be used to keep the Sons thumbs moving.
Absolutely not. Had the Suzuki for about 4 years and the Ninja for about 7 or 8. Of course I didn’t mix them up.
Jesus! You could drive a chain saw with that??
Keep your fingers out the way, never mind your thumbs. !!
D. Man!!
Seen a few accidents DM.
Got to do a bit of cleaning up round the headstock then whack this original item back on.

Stuck the headlight back in place, first thing I noticed, the bullet connectors on the low beam bulb were uninsulated and shorting against each other so, I have had to heat shrink both sets of tails, also, 2 5X8M panhead screws were missing that hold the bezel to the casing, £1.21 ea from Honda, no probs there but post and package £3.50 so £6.00 for two small screws is a bit silly.

The screws go through the headlamp case and into the flanges one of which is the the right of the wire in the photo.
Here are the £6.00 screws, better go and fit them before I lose them.

At this rate Spitty, the bike will be worth quite a bit when your done??
Can’t you get them at Screwfix or at an engineering supplies
shop??
D man!
Yes you can DM, just got a bit idle on this one, and considered the cost of fuel and time etc, etc.
This is the latest addition to the hanger.
100cc horizontally opposed twin.

Looks like a mini version of the Lycoming we had in our Cessna. Nice bit of kit by the looks of it.
Hi Barry
Spent a couple of hours refitting the front end, got the covering coming tomorrow to finish the wings off.

That’s a funny-shaped motorcycle and I’m not sure that you’ll be able to squeeze in next to the little fella there either.
It’s impressive Spitty though I confess it’s not something I’ve ever had any experience with.
I’d be scared to fly one, not least because I could imagine it winging it’s way off into the distance while I screech impotently in the vain hope that the remote control suddenly behaves itself.
You’re right Zaphod, it is a funny shaped Motorcycle:lol:.
I sprayed the side panels for the Honda and was advised to flat the painted surface with 2000 grade wet and dry before lacquering which I ignored. When I applied the lacquer, it made no difference to the sheen so its flat down again, paint flat and lacquer, here is the colour difference before I do that.

The aircraft is looking great Spitty and as for the bike, painting was always the hardest part for me, I never could spray properly so always put it out to the local spray shop.
Where do you live Spitty ??
In the garage ??
Coz your lounge looks a bit cramped at the moment
