Ok.....back by popular demand!!! Thanks for the support RCC members!!

Spent the weekend looking after the 2 year old sick and cranky male heir to my throne, no sleep....NOT FUN!!! I did manage to get the top wing center section all silver soldered up and aligned correctly!!!....It did take a few tries, but in the end the correct 2 degrees of positive incidence was achieved. This part of the build was critical. It will ensure that the model will have the same stall characteristics of the full size DVII. I understand that the full size aircraft actually almost hovered on the stall and that the German pilots used this to their tactical advantage.
