| 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
