MY 222

[vitalspark]

This was bought after an accident mechanics took a whack and the gearboxes were shot to hell!
And the guy tried to cover it up with green pain even on the wheels and windows( as an Irish man he said he was trying to paint it in AIR LINGUS COLOURS I said Air lingus couldn't afford a real one even if they sold their whole fleet lol) a Ive built quite a few heim star rangers and 222's in the very early 80's so I thought id give it a go I was the harder than building an scratch kit never mind a vario kit its done now thank goodness :D now its for sale want to do another or id like to buy dperry's 230 jet but he wont let me :arggg: lol
BTW I have a small video of it flying it's only 2 Min's long but it seems to have 90 MB can any one tell me how to reduce its size and even better how to post it? :?:

Nice job of reworking someone else's mess. You made it look like the one in the old Vario catalog.

What are you asking for it? I know someone who wants a 222.

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the comp, thats what the intention was, have ordered a full lighting kit from Curtek Systems over 1 month ago and still nothing arrived,
After 2 emails and no replies I'm getting worried :arggg:

as the $2£ thing is not good for you guys its probably a bit expensive I've got it on ebay item number or # as you guys work 5990864368,
have a look and let me know my email addy is stuart@mckenzie-technical.co.uk.
All the best
Cheers
Stuart

Hello Stuart!!! I don't know how I ended up where I did with an earlier reply, I am listed as the author... In any case I just wanted to say that your paintjob is really fantastic, I wish I could paint something like that, are you a proffessional painter as well? Fine job, has the bird been sold yet?
Thank You,
Maurice :)

Hi Maurice,
bird sold along time ago.....
The colour scheme is from vario transfers I wish I could paint like that although I took nearly a week of patient work to achieve :dontknow

Hello Stuart and thanks for the reply. Well beautiful job and the blue glass as well is this also available from Vario. So when you say transfers Stuart do you mean it's actually stickers?
Thanks again
Maurice :noteworthy

OH Stuart, did you ever figure out how to compress the video that you mentioned?
Is it available, I would love to view it....
Thanks,
