Please refer to the many posting on this blog regarding this
manufacturer kits: the Santos Dumont 14 Bis, the Lilienthal glider, the Clement
Ader Avion III, and the Kleine Schlagflugelapparat 1893. I can't add much to
what I already said. This time around the etched parts had all their holes
perfectly cleared, but the pilot was suffering from existential hollowness, or
internal emptiness, and had to be not only refined as the previous ones, but
filled. The rigging instructions are not entirely accurate, consult photos to
correct that. Those things are not terrible, but I rather spend my time
building, not correcting manufacturers boo-boos and lack of quality control. The instructions in this kit are better than the ones in the others, although with a couple misses too.
Nevertheless, and as I said before, we do have another beautiful Lilienthal glider, even if there is a price
to pay. Twice.
Now better I go for the aspirin bottle before I start the rigging
Excelent job, congratulations, Armando Gil.
