[Jeff Hunt]

Most impressive. The brace wiring looks to have been quite a challenge that you handled in a most excellent fashion. Great looking bird.

Thanks very much guys. I hope I haven't shied anyone away from this kit as it is a great kit. If I find another at a decent price, I won't hesitate to buy it. I'll find the article about correcting the wings, bookmark it and post it to whoever might build this. Reading other builds will definitely help with the other minor problems. I won't buy the P.E. set again.
