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

Finished. Whole hour to spare an' all. Whoops! Just finished in time, as it happens: always keep track of your start time, folks!

Fun build, aside from a self-inflicted bit of damage, pretty much problem-free.

Thanks mate.. could have done a better job tidying up the upper wing :oops: ... the macro setting shows blemishes that my failing eyesight misses!

I'm pleased with it, that said.

You jolly well should be old fruit! You built and rigged a biplane in a blitz. That's gold medal stuff!

Cameras always amplify every tiny blemish. For a blitz build, that's a great finish!

That's nicely done and the rigging is very tidy. But who is Albert Ross, and why do you have his aeroplane?

Well Done. A very nice build.

A rigged blitz and done on time and looking good.

Can't wait to see what you plan for the next one. Fully rigged Gotha or Felixstowe?

You'd end up with a "fully rigged" (as in: tied up in a strait-jacket) Arcwelder on either of those...

I has a plan for the next one, though..
