[WWI] Gnome Monosoupape

[Hugh Beyts]

After seeing Sanjeev's Rumpler maybe I should just not make a fuss about
valves! Nice one Sanjeev.

Actually I'm alergic to 109's unless in soluble form.

The Gnome is fully exposed and I want to do it justice having scratched
around abit. Typical AMS approach to the original kit; about the only
thing I have left is the box art, which is the nicest bit, however the
basket weave seat looks nice, that Dr Tom has a lot to answer
for........;-) I managed to figure out a method and when I finally read
how Tom had done it discovered we had used radically different
approaches. Tom had been a little cagey when I quizzed him at the 2004
UK Nationals and I couldn't sleep till I made my own. After two years I
have now made the basic engine, seat and prop. I'm on a roll here!

Maybe two 109's are not enough!
