he has a rigging guide specifically for the Dh.2 which I fully intend to use when I get to mine.

Go forth and rig.

...and it can be downloaded from http://bobsbuckles.co.uk/dh.2-rigging-guide.html

Happy Bird-Nesting!

Thanks, VB! I downloaded the rigging guide and I'll start counting, and counting, and counting....  :o I'll get back to you soon!

And you gotta be careful with Sir Michael of Scarborough! I called him "Mickey" once and I just barely lived to regret it! (Let's just say he's a bit sensitive about that name, and his NY mob ties run deep! Have you seen Joe Pesci in Goodfellas? 'nuff said..)

Cheers!

George,
    I don't have absolute numbers for you but I figure I used approximately 110 of von Buckles Turnbuckles and minimum 140  tubes, the majority 1.5 mm's. the remainder were 1.0mm's. I'd say you need to have minimum 125 buckles, 125 tubes of the 1.5 mm size, and 30 1mm size to have enough and a comfortable reserve to replace the bits you are going to "tweezerpult" off into the ether as you labour away. It's not a difficult task, just a long one. I cannot recommend the tutorial on von Buckles Website highly enough, it really keeps things on the rails. There are a couple of "grey zones", don't hesitate to ask as the time I spent poring over photos and articles is for sharing if of any help. The cabanes are an enigma to me, I chose to rig them fully however it seems every clear illustration of them shows a different configuration.
   I'd bet that everyone here who has rigged one of these monsters has a different "count" on components, it's not any more definite then the colour of PC10! Last, I used mono for the conventional structures and EZ Line for the Lattice frames. Any mono added to the frames caused warping and was quickly replaced. I've since tried Modelkastens semi stretchable thread elsewhere and I figure it would provide too much tension as well.
Good luck, I'll be following your journey closely! 8)
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks for the info, Lance! You've just saved me a lot of time counting!

Von B, I'll take an order of what Lance said :D  (I'll place a proper order later today)

Thanks,
George

Well, George,

everyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I do not waste with compliments and I am rather tending not to comment when the results are not breathtaking, but this is one of the best engines I have ever seen. Would be a real shame to hide it in a Pup cowling. You did a great job making me think: "hmm, this guy must be cheating me and I am looking at a photo of an original engine photoshoped to look like a 1:32 modell."

I will be following this thread with great interest. Thumbs up so far!

Cheers

Order placed, Bob! Enough to finish a few planes at least. Should keep you busy buckling and out of trouble for a few hours! ;D

Thanks
George

Well, it's a big order, but I got that little Pup frame model going too and you can see all the internal rigging! Sorry about that! :o ::)
