Thanks to Neil Harvey I now have a mini rib mould, apparently it's a Delta so it should ride well

I'm going to do a gelcoat order, but what colour do you reckon?

I may make a few in exchange for a Macmillan donation if its ok with Neil?

Now I feel old , can still remember the original one.... You need a brushless motor and 11.1v lithium battery on it, then it becomes interesting
