Moebius Skipjack

You're doing sterling work with this project Richard. I've been glued to all the build progress and photos since the start and it's been extremely interesting. Not least because the Moebius Skipjack I ordered lst March arrived on Christmas Eve! British wholesalers are sometimes optimistic when they quote delivery dates! I have opened the box to have a gander and the quality of the kit looks superb as you have said but I think it will be a while before I get started because I am in the process of committing sacrilege and scratch building a model of Leonardo da Vinci's paddler and I really must get that finished before Paddler Day in Darlington this summer. After all I had hoped to have it there for 2012!
I have been carefully studying David Merriman's build of the Skipjack using his SAS Sub-Driver unit and fittings mainly because I've never seen the system in operation and I'm always game to try something different. The only thing that's putting me off is the capital investment although I'm sure it would turn out to be of the highest quality and reliability. Parts we have bought from him before have been superb. It's an exchange rate problem and I know who to blame for that! Mind you Ron's wtc looks superb too and I've succesfully run his old Resolution units before. Decisions...Decisions...
Keep up the good work.
