Rumours say, he's secretly training a hamster to fly this one.

Found my mojo and clipped it's wings, so it won't fly away.

That is just so realistic that I wonder why I bother to continue trying to make models..... That is craftsmanship of the very highest quality.

Thanks gents...!!
@Terri, I considered the option, but the wire does lack the elasticity required to keep it tight.
I experienced it on the hasegawa 1/8 sopwith camel, took "years" to install all the wiring, and in no time the wires lost tension, moving the stick and the ailerons/rudder/elevator hardly moved.
So, no....controles will be fixed.

This is incredible! The next step will be to build a real one? You're already practically there :)
