Thanks John - some of my actions were probably how not to put this beastie together!
However, for the sake of my sanity I declare this a completion (If it was a deck landing I just about caught the second wire and nearly ended up on my prop!)

I actually really enjoyed this build but I had so many near right-off moments. Airfix made a future classic here but its not for the faint-hearted and be prepared to make repairs all the way through. I swear my ever-growing bald spot has expanded over the past couple of weeks!

:-D Great work, remember any landing you walk away from is a good landing :-D

Thanks guys - this would have been tougher without all the shared suffering of snapped struts and strange instructions!
