Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Looking very smart, and it's good to still be able to see some of your work on the cockpit and the framing even after closing up the fuselage
Best wishes

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Ta. Yes, I'm glad all my work hasn't been hidden. I'd probably need counselling or whatever it is that snowflakes these days have when things in their world go a bit askew 
I've been drilling the rigging holes and as the wings are double skinned I'm going to have to use turn-buckles to attach the wires to the top wing.
The small rigging wires around the nose are now in place and the tail is on and gloss varnish applied.....everywhere...

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
I have to say that is a particularly sumptuous shade of blue!

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Thanks all. Top wing now on then the double rigging between the fuselage and the top of the wing. I've fitted turn-buckles to aid the attachment of the wire to the underside of the top wing.

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
First set of main double rigging finished. The EZ line went through the turnbuckles far too easily. Something terrible awaits

Re: Toby's table top turmoil
Toby, this looks incredible. I envy your rigging and painting of yellow prowesses!
