      Methinks anyone who wants to nit pick about this would need really fine tweezers and a seriously good microscope!

        Great work Ron! I wonder what happens to the aileron when your wing falls off?

          Thanks for the support, boys... :thumb2:

          Dear reader(s), my writing about nit pickers was just a harmless bit of banter, with no serious intent.

          Pete, keep in mind I did write that there was still some more damage to do... Wink, wink! And don't forget the flap either.

            From nitpicker's anonymous, If that flap is hydraulically actuated chances are it would stay in its last commanded position due to a check valve in the system preventing uncommanded movement. :tongue-out3: Take that 570!! Oh by the way, that is some "smashing" work on the wing separation.....t'would be great if there were a few bits of flying debris when this all comes together. Rick H.

              Thanks Rick, but Steve (stona) has beaten you to it and already informed me! :tongue-out3:

              Re. the flying debris. I know you are a colonial, and I suppose I have to make allowances, but please read my post from this morning @ 9.40am. Mind you, in fairness you would be all tucked up in bo bo's.

              Have another :tongue-out3: on me!

                  I've finished the damage on the outer wing section. I'd better stop now or there will be now't left to mess with!

                  One 'hinge' of the aileron is still precariously intact. The flap is still shut. Scratches from the Dornier's sticky out bits.

                    That's pretty efffffed up 570.....I Like It!! Can't wait to see how you suspend all of this without showing any strings attached. If you can pull that off then I will tip my hat to the new Houdini!! Rick H.

                      570 I had a collision once with a hotties sticking out bits, it was extremely nice, that was quite different I suppose.

                      Getting back to your build I think perfection.

                      Yours 453.

                        If you've seen some of Ron's earlier builds showing 'planes in flight Rick, you'll know he's knocked up an anti-gravity device in his garden shed so he doesn't need strings!

                          Now come on Ron! I know you've invented a time machine and gone back and photographed Holmes' 'plane just after the collision. Those tweezer things don't fool me for one moment - that's just the clip for the selfie stick holding the camera!

                              Morn Ron,

                              Wonderful damage you have there and it does look very realistic too!!! I don't know about an anti-gravity machine, but didn't you tell us before that you stood in the garden with the camera and your lovely wife threw the planes in the air while you snapped the pics!!!!

                              So which one is it??? Inquiring minds want to know........................

                              Prost
