Well, after five months of an hour or two here and five minutes their, the fuselage is now finished. The last of the rigging has been completed. To my surprise, when the rudder pedals and the stick is moved, the surfaces move too. Not sure how strong it is, so once in a display case, you will have to take my word for it. For anyone thinking of following my path, one tip.....ignore the build instructions and do your own thing and build the fuselage from the inside out. How on earth I was supposed to get the control cables rigged if I had done the bracing wires first would have been beyond me. Leave them until last, it makes life so much easier.
I now have a forced break, in the next couple of days I am off on a Dash8-Q400 maintenance course......back to turbo props......can't wait Cry Undecided Thank God 99% of my time is still the 738 Cheesy
