***Thanks for this Richard,I was not aware of this model until now,in fact I like it so much that would like to make one myself in Meccano,he has tackled the thick wing very well,the internet is so full of surprises and gems just waiting to be found,and this is one of them.

A bit more interest here, particularly for Barry bearing in mind his Meccano posts.
