Phenomenal work all around but I must say the rigging looks like it will "Steal the Show" !

James,

maybe you can try to cut the loose end of your rigging a wee bit shorter?

Hindsight is a son of a bitch!

I just noticed I missed an additional line that runs from the upper eyelet on the final box section on the tail boom to the anchor point just above the tail skid levers - I have it running from the top left to the bottom right of the boom, boy its getting crowded in there!

So I now need to feed an additional line through that 1:48 anchor!

Thanks Stefan,  I will go back and tidy up the lines I can - those that are too short I will dab and press with some CA glue so they sit parallel to the main line. However using the eyeball MKI most of those ends are not visible. The macro lens really picks them out though!

Great job on the rigging, James! Thanks for the tip on cutting off the eyelets on the tail boom. Now I need to do the same on mine!

From one DH.2 builder to another, can you tell me how many of the 1/48 Gaspatch turnbuckles you've used?

Thanks,
George

ok I've used about 8 'Open End' turnbuckles on the tail boom (I will post a photo of their location later) and I've used about 10 - 15 1:48 anchors on the boom and rudder.
