Hi Mike,  Firstly an apology for not looking in on this diary before. My only excuse is you got too many to follow   . That said, it looks like a real fun build with all the added detail and the only question, without looking through the whole build is have you done the RC version and if so do we get to see a video of the launch and maiden voyage?  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
