Congratulations on completing the rigging on this model, you have done a great job, and the remainder of the aircraft is brilliant, your skills as a top modeler shine through in this model, it is beautiful.

Looks great! The DH2 is one I hope to tackle eventually. Right now I'm still poking along on my Albatros, but the DH2 both fascinates and frightens me. Pertfectly aligning the booms is scary enough, but all that spaghetti holding it together gives me the shivers!

Aye, but that's the whole point of diving in, isn't it??  In this case, using the monofilament also added stability, so it actually was a pleasure to do.  Just take your time..

Rigging it with monofilament, as I do, will help with the alignment as it provides structural strength and stability.

That settles it then. I'll do my DH2 before trying the Fee. You've done a spectacular job on your DH2.

Cheers,
