Crikey, that’s a bit rough. Take care Simon, and follow doctors orders. The build is far less important than your health. Hope it improves very soon :thumb2:

WOW, What awful news that is Simon!!
Terrible that it happened in the first place of course,but on the plus side,at least a full recovery is on the cards
Must be so frustrating for you... All the best mate,

Hi all thanks for all your kind words and support it means a lot, well i never managed to do much today but my heads feeling better and eyes seem to be improving, i did manage to watch the Moto gp and that was great racing, i will try to take it easy and see if i can get some bit’s done not only on the build but life in general, this is a real wake up call, but to be fair i live a fairly healthy life so it just show you you never know what round the corner
Take care
Simon

Simon,
Take it easy and don't over do it rest the eyes if that is what's needed.

 

[Andy the Sheep]

Best wishes for a swift recovery, Simon.

So sorry to hear about your stroke Simon, but very happy that you appear to be experiencing improving vision.
Unfortunately I understand what you are experiencing as I have Fuchs disease in my left eye, which blurs the vision.
I do hope your recovery progresses well.

Just been catching up with your build and news Simon. Take it easy chap and get yourself sorted, glad to hear things are slowly coming back, can't imagine what a scare that was.

Hi everyone not mutch of an up date but i have stuck a few bit together and hopefully iwill join the fuselage this weekend trimmed and stuck the resin together it looks great, but to be fair the kit intakes were just as good and probably would have needed less work but i bought them so im going to use them, the exhausts do look good and these were not covered by the kit so happy with these few pictures dont hold your breath it nothing stunning

On a personal note thank you all for your well wishes my eyes seem to be getting better and vision is much clearer still missing a lot of peripheral mostly blurred but its widening fingers crossed it. Returns completely. i did buy a pair of yellow tinted glasses and these have helped with the flashing light & sensitivity,well a part from looking like a twxx. I asked my wife if i looked like Bono no she said more like Ali G….

Looking good from here Simon :thumb2: Rick H.

Just read this and it's shocking to suddenly have a stroke and going blind. Glad you're mending and vision is slowly improving. Take it easy and don't strain with small parts until you're well.
So far helo looks good.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi All thank you for your kind words and support, not much to report peripheral is still very blurred feels like you have something in your eye like sleep dust and i keep rubbing them to clear it to no avail.
Anyway for 1 reason or another not managed to get much done but I have managed to bond the fuselage not the easiest to do either but has gone together quite well belly has a bit of a seem but i will sort this out later.

Cont.. the exhaust outlet resin parts look quite good, the air intake ducts just didn't fit and to be fair the kit ones look better!!
I still have the rotor resin kit to look at but i might skip this as well just now due to a lack of interest on my part mainly due to the small parts and i suspect the fear of having to cut away the gear box cover to allow room for the gearbox on the resin assembly and i have not allowed any support structure for it but that might change see how i get on
Ihave the stroke clinic tomorrow, and Wednesday cardiovascular consultant so my mind is not quite in the build but to be fair i feel quite good just a bit lethargic.

[Geoffers]

It’s coming together nicely now Simon :thumb2:

It looks a big bird, I imagine it will take up a fair bit of room once the rotors are in place.

Good luck with your various appointments.

Geoff.
