Default RE: Control Line Build?

Royf,

I believe there was an Me-262 (tail-dragger!) prototype with a single, propellor engine. ...To confirm the flying abilities while waiting for the turbine engines to be provided. (There were some problems, there. And their TBO (time between overhauls) was "rather brief," too.)

Pretty model! In 1980, wife, kids and I saw an Me-262 in a static display at Frankfurt/Rhein-Main Airport when we flew home from my final Army tour in Germany. No idea how authentic the displayed aircraft were. Shoddy construction. Coarse surfaces. An He-111 alongside the Me was just as awful.

Your Me is much, much nicer to look at.
