I can see the practicalities of the motor angle, thank you for explaining it.
However, I already ordered a better model, and so the little Sopwith is doomed to be a shelf model, and painting practice.....
I have ordered a Dumas 35" Tiger Moth, and hope to pick it up on the way home from work.
I guess one advantage will be decent plans (supposedly 1:1) unlike the small set of 1" square pictures that came with the cheap model.....
But I will be sure to ask questions before I make any more mistakes.....
