Rob, that is seriously one STURDY Balsa Frame!! 👍👍 That's a Model I would love to fly. About that Tail Wheel... I have no idea what I'm doing, or even if it makes any difference - but shouldn't the wire have gone *between* the main Frame?? The directions weren't clear (to me anyway). Again, I don't think it would make any difference either way. 😉 I do believe this should be the first one I do. I'm not sure it's the easiest, but it actually makes sense to me! Cheers 🍻🍻 Mate!

Hi Carmine. It is but still I handle it with kid gloves. As for the tail wheel I did ponder for quite a long time about it's position as other ones did just poke through the tissue and sit in the middle of the fuselage halves but with that bit at the top of the wheel leg it would not have sat flush with the joining point. Now it's in it does sit central to the fuselage and is held in place a lot firmer than some of the other ones. You may reconsider when you see me trying to fit the cockpit window mate. The video doesn't show the half of the hassle I had. You need at least two pairs of hands really lol.
The way you've got it keyed in, certainly looks stronger than it was designed... I hope the Wire is springy enough, so in a hard Landing, doesn't turn to a Pretzel!! 😳
I’ve sed this before but I will tell you again you have got some brilliant skills I’m definitely liking this build easy thumbs up 👍 mate
Hi Kirk, Cheers mate. I must say the laser cut pieces really do help an awful lots as they fit together very snugly.
Thanks for the comment mate.
Any time mate
It really is a fascinating and strangely relaxing process watching these build videos of yours. Top marks as always Rob...😁.
Thanks Cosmo. I get transfixed watching my older ones where they are all time lapsed.
