If I didn't know that I was viewing photos of a model, I would have assumed the images were of an actual aircraft. Following this thread will be a fascinating (and humbling) experience.

Dan,
   Welcome here, and what an incredible project. It will be very interesting to follow this and then some!
    Truly a revelation; in my mid 50's I moved from 1:72 to 1;48  Scale, then up to 1:32 in my 60's as fat fingers and optical challenges forced me up the scale ladder, now I see there's a comfortable option for when I hit my 80's......... :o ::) !!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!
I do my best!
Today, control stick area is complete:











By the way, note no glue used in this build! Only screw, nuts, sometimes washers. As a genuine WW1 aircraft ...
Feel free to any question...
