Very nice! My rigging skills pale in comparison.

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

Wow Iggie mate, that is brilliant! I've also recently completed one of these and I was going to put it on the forum, but it pales into insignificance compared to this. I feel a bit embarrassed by it now.....
Once again, superb mate, in every way!

A great build. WW1 planes are my favourite topic and I would be proud of what you’ve achieved. You should do some more and convert to the dark side.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Thank you Stu, Zee and Toby!

Yes. But only if you do all the rigging and external control cables.....iggie wrote:Does that mean I can build a Tie fighter and pretend it's a bipe on its side?

Wow That's amazing.
How on earth did you manage to do all that rigging and not tie yourself in knots?? Great job, keep it up.

Thank you Miss-stang.
Keeping all the rigging apart is tricky especially if one length snaps and wraps itself around some of the others and gets glue on them.......
