There you have it. I might add I installed the engine cooling tubes just prior to installing the front elevator assembly.

DonC, menu, ElbertC, BriandKilby, I sincerely thank eack & everyone of you for your compliments. Truly means a lot from those modelers who are artists in their own right & know what to look for with a critical eye. I posted a lot on the engine, knowing it would be one of the primary focal points of the model & in the hopes it would offer insights on "How to's" for those who wish to take up the challenge of building the Wright Flyer. Thank you guys

Very, very nice build. Looking forward to seeing what else you do. One thing I always read from other scratch builders: break down a part into its smallest components and then add them together. You did a very nice job on the engine with that method.

Creosotewind, thank you! That is exactly the kind of observation & insight that only comes from a fellow modeler/artist. You're absolutely correct in the breakdown of components. -Sky
