X4239 X4428 X4555 Replying to your BJW/H141122. we cannot do anything at the moment with the left hand controls on the Goshawk. Kindly take notice of the many things that have been asked for during the past few days and you will see that it is impossible to keep pace with replying to them, let alone designing for them. We are at present fully engaged on front wheel brakes (2 models), modifications to the present 40/50, and keeping the present 2 models corrected, dipping head lights, etc. This will keep our hands full for many months.
