Dwain Dibley. Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thanks Geoff, The problem is that one of the fixings has popped, probably not glued properly by me, I have used split pins pushed and glued into the interplane struts, top and bottom with the top held as you say with wires and bands. I left mine rigged and it fitted in the back of my van in one piece for the journey home. I'm looking forward to seeing your build, and rest assured they fly Great. D.D.

Trevor Crook Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 That looks really nice, and thanks for the well documented build log. It's inspired me to look at the DB range for my next build project, when I've finished the current one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwain Dibley. Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thanks Trevor, Go for it matey, they are good kits, and they convert to battery power quite easily if that's your bag. Also you can scale them up to your hearts content. For Example the DB Auster I built.... D.D.

You will not be disappointed with the quality of the kit, both wood and fit are excellent. I am finally cracking on with my Moth and have found your build very helpful Dwain, was interested in the above quote, my kit looks like an original Boddington one by the box it is in and the fit of some of the parts is poor and requires quite a bit of remedial work to make good. Main area at the moment is the wing saddle and the holes for the wing mounting dowels being too low. I am sure the modern laser cut kits are like Rolls Royce`s compared to this one! It will still look great and fly well when finished but balsa kits have come a long way since this one was produced......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
