Yeah. Right. I've thought similarly...and later explained it all to the plumber when he arrived.

Less than five minutes! And it worked! Buy two lottery tickets.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Damn Lyle! Very nicely done on that rigging! What are you using for the wire?

That rigging looks excellent Lyle (and well done fixing the Loo)

It is music wire cut to length + a half scosh so it would stay put while it was glued. On the wires betwee the floats, I had the idea of bending a piece of wire into a v-shape, with the v end at the fuselage and the cut lends on the floats.Stikpusher wrote:Damn Lyle!

Thanks, Stuart. No one was more surprised than me that it was as easy a fix as it should be. Happy, happy.Stuart wrote:

The rigging may be a bit out of scale, but it was much easier to work with.
