Ha haaar! I’m getting in early! “ it will come up great in racing Yellow Ray”!!! Sorry mate but you are tarred with the yellow brush, if it doesn’t have a name I suggest FF Sake, and you better get the expensive straps mate any more room in the roof? Enjoy mate you are getting quite the collection now cheers
PS note the Pigeons call, “ he has plenty of props!”

See, this is what makes this a great club. Plenty off helpful comments and an equal number of clowns, where else would you get such diversity of opinion!!. Hey Pidgeon, you may get a phone call as i know absolutely ZERO about these motors. Chivs, don't hold your breath on it being yellow.....i'm retired now and my access to stolen yellow paint has ended. It'll probably get done in it's original colors...maybe!! FFSAKE does have some merit, thats pretty much what i've been saying since my decision to buy it

Yep re the FF Sake, irs an addiction and when these cool things “appear cheap” it’s hard to pass … then reality hits when the restoration commenced + $$$$!
With all due respect to the the females I liken it to pregnancy, after having one the pain is quickly forgotten when getting a second and then a third etc etc!!
Te the pigeon good luck getting any mechanical knowledge from him, just saying :lol:

Congrats Ray!, Looks really cool.
I am happy to supply the yellow paint, it will be a gift that will keep giving!
And the name, is a no brainer: "One goat"
And I'm sure Captain Chiv's will supply driving lessons

Stripped the little hydro down today and i have to say it's a well built little thing. Any repairs needed look like being simple and cheap. The only thing so far is a damaged spark plug which will stop me running the motor till i can source one or change the leads and plugs to a newer design.
