I found some valuable info ito completed pics on the site so decided to share my final build as the instructions included with the kit are not always clear




One of the key issues is aligning the bottom wing at a 2 degree angle to the horizontal.





I suggest attaching the bayonet connection at an angle to the bulkhead as this will align the wings later during assembly

The plan does not show the second pipe from the radiator which attaches to the back of the engine. Also look carefully at the propeller pitch else it may slope to the wrong side





Where to attach lines and pipes is not clear but below my efforts at getting it right








It is easy to get all the controls to work but you need to plan for this from the start - ailerons, elevator and rudder











View from below which also shows the strut connection mentioned earlier



I have created a .bmp file that contains pictures of the instruments. Please contact me and I will send it as I cannot post the .bmp in the site. I have attached a .jpg to illustrate. I print it at a scale of 7% and I get what you see below.
