I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

It has been over a year since its inseption and a year of ins and outs gave it some wear and tear.

John M Oshust ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a Build 23-Mar-15 16:07 Views : 599 With Gumby back at work, the rigging process proceeded to conclusion. John M Oshust ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a Build 23-Mar-15 16:06 Views : 582 To a modeler the rigging provides detail. Making the model more authentic. To a pilot, the rigging wire was life and death. Cables stretch with time, fatigue, and snap. Wire tension controls wing alignment, incidence angle, and rigidity. The “Rigger” was an important member of the flight crew. Wire length and tension is influenced by change in temperature. All of the former variables influence lift, maneuverability. and flight. In the “Fog of war” I wonder how diligently the issue of proper cable tensioning was addressed. How many flight mishaps occurred to lack of attention to cable tension.

Perhaps the melody was not perceived due to the exhaust of a 12 cylinder engine and straight exhaust pipes!
