Saving Old Seagulls

...and I've never seen a crashing meteorite up close! Which reminds me...gotta charge my camera battery!

I'm all for originality when it comes to Seagulls, all the parts and pieces that make a BS what it is, and that goes for all the many models out there.

Be patient...the day ends at midnight!

...is it true that all the Australians and New Zealanders are going to stop posting here and on Facebook and stop sending emails from midnight just to wind us all up??? Not so Charles...we Canadians are tough and end-time proof. Count on us to keep this site and forum alive and kickin' and our post...

Just wanted to make you mates a little nervous before THE day!
But don't worry...if we do kick the bucket, most of you will come back and live a new life as restored Seagulls WITH BRASS TANKS!!!

No harm intended Charles...BUT there IS a reason why you kept it quiet like the other Charles posted? :roll: :lol: But just to keep the peace and in case your tach is reading this, and also because it's the Christmas season, I will only repeat the old saying which says that "beauty is the eyes ...

Thanks for the link Stelios...but this double bubble level looks more like a gizmo from Star Wars than the discrete cool aluminum one I glued on my Gull lately, it just wouldn't blend with the motor's 1930's style. Besides, by the time you've squinted your eyes to gawk at the reading, you've already...

My kingdom for brass!!!

Don't forget to leave room for the tilt-trim cylinder!

Good on you Charles...maybe if we'd stick a gyro base to it we could screw it to the flywheel nut and enjoy rpm's to their fullest!
