I've seen this on a Robin Hood car:scuttle /bonnet/nose cone all joined together ,and hinged at the rear bottom of scuttle --is this standard on RH cars ?Would it work on Locost?

no its not standard on the robin hood
i cant see why you cant do it that way
but i dont like the thought of what would happen if the bonnet come up when your driving the wind screen would try and chop you i half
hmmmmm
cheers dave

Yes it is standard on the robin hoods.

But as with any kits most people have modify it.You use the sierra bonnet catch at the front for them and bonnet catches at the sides.
I built a robin hood as my first ever built and will never build one again.

sorry what i meant was its not standard to all robin hoods you can have either system and i agree with your comments
on robin hoods what i cant understand is why they sell for so much when built?
cheers dave
