Thanks Warren. But remember, the line between bravery and stupidity is VERY thin, and it's usually the outcome which dictates which side of it you're on!

"drum roll......."

Ian, they haven't yet built a drum big enough to sound the accolades your build deserves.

If it's the result of stupidity then I say, bring it on!  ;D

Thanks very much to all, your comments are very much appreciated....
and now.... having fitted the wings yesterday, today I mended the few items that got hurt during the operation, then connected up the aileron control and rear drag wires (THAT was tricky, working in between the existing rigging!), added the "loose" wires that were disconnected at one end to enable the wings to be folded, and fitted the prop....








 I'll leave the prop to dry overnight, then tomorrow I need to make a sling, paint the wing fold mechanisms, and do a little touching-up, and that's it! Next pics will be in the completed model section! Thanks once again to everyone who has followed and kept me on track with your supportive and encouraging comments!

Thanks gents!
 A small "porky" (for those outside London: "pork pie" = lie) in the last post...I have now, after a year on the bench, finished this one! However, with the light too poor for decent pics I thought I'd post a couple here now, and then post some better ones tomorrow in the completed section.

Here she is:
