Happy to have helped. There is also a write up of the construction, with pictures, in the January/February 1999 edition of RC
Scale International. You may have guessed by now I was suitably impressed by the model at the time. Best of luck with yours.

Dave.

But this raises the question, we’re is John Deacon, and we're is the B24,

Hi alan
No idea where John is , I heard from 3 different people now the 24 crashed in the states ! As far as I’m aware there’s no 24s in the uk so this is my next project

That would be a shame, it was a superb aircraft, not heard anything about John, either
