By the way, the other day I was looking (again) at the plans and noted that there is a (I think ) huge mistake. The rear side of the fuselage is drawn far too wide (compared to the Mariusz Lukasik drawings). The corresponding former is also drawn wrong. Be aware. (Anyone building the model?) jan.

Well done! jan.

For an outsider it's pretty hard to draw a conclusion from all this. Is there an one sentence long conclusion? 😉 jan.

It's really sad to hear all this. 😔 'Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end . . .' Etc.etc. jan.

As far as twisting is concerned: in the case of an airfoil with a flat bottom, sanding of the top of course is not a problem. Otherwise you wil have to support the block and template ribs to prevent them from twisting. As you can see I use magnets; that makes it very easy to adjust the supports. jan.

With the usual rib block there is always the danger that one also sands away the template ribs a little. This method prevents that. (May be someone else also has figured this out, I don't know . . . ) The cardboard has to be splippery, and must be exactly the same height as the sanding paper (I used P80). For the spars: make exactly fitting, similar, dedicated tools. Tapered wings etc.: everything is possible. Have fun! jan brilman.

Looking great! Pretty big, isn't she? jan.

Hello everybody, Is there anyone who knows how when where etc. this year? So far found that Barkston Heath won't have you, but . . . I've sent a mail to the BMFA: no response whatsoever. Would love to see the Free Flight Scale Competition again . . . 😃 Thanks! jan brilman Netherlands

How can you build a wooden model and keep the shop that clean? 😮 Amazing. Fuselage is coming along fine! (I bet there's more people watching.) jan.

Fit! 😬 Parts fit like . . . ☺️ jan.

Looking good! You are using the wood pack from Sarik? Parts fits like a glove? jan.

Well . . . BT does that, Dennis Bryant not . . . jan.

Now we're at it . . . Of course I have seen the Dennis Bryant plan (that is, at least part of it.) That one is of course also an option (although quiet a big model . . .) Is someone willing to send met the build article? Please send a PM and I will give my mail adress. Thanks! jan.

Nice to see all the comments and remarks! Just back from a short trip to Edinburgh with the girlfriend . . . Very nice! And, will she (?) have arrived? Yes, she's in the mailbox! 😀 Will start reading thoroughly soon. jan.
