Was he the dude that made Spitfire decals and resided in South Oz?
You don’t concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done- Chuck Yeager.

That point in it's self was a significant issue of conjecture and controversy.....but IIRC as it turned out, he was an informal self-appointed "professor"

Out came the saw and dremel to do this wing thing.. had to grind through one of my bulkheads. I had to cut large bits of fuselage away to enable to fair the wing in to conform with both the fuselage and the wing centre section... it is do-able but crickey there is a shitload of form work and putty going to be required, I am gonna have to clear the bench cos I'll nee all the space I have to jig the whole gubbins up, align the wing forward and aft, up and down, square to the fuselage reference lines and with the right incidence, oh boy this is fun...

Geez Wal......I am struggling with a 1:100 747-100 rebuild at the moment, (it's fighting me every step of the way), but every time I look at this project, I realize I have nothing to bitch about. I will now go and do some more work on said 747 while keeping the Carvair in mind.
