Artisan, I'm sure you are a very good craftsman. Aside from that, I don't think any fuse builds straighter than a Bridi fuse. That thick, flat slab top on which you build the fuse upsidedown will pretty much guanantee a true build.
[What I meant by devaluing building is the act of making it inconsequential. By saying it doesn't matter, or saying who gives a rats whatever is the same as saying it is insignificant, which is a means of devaluing or degrading its worth. I was simply saying that building is worth a great deal to many people. It is absolutely not inconsequential.]

Thank you for the kind words.
Now that I'm flying old classic pattern ships for sport, it doesn't matter if the wing is slightly warped or if the fuselage is a little crooked.
You are right in saying that it is difficult to build a crooked Kaos fuselage. I think that most of mine started out straight, but then the environment took over and did its work on my models. A dehumidifer in humid climates would have solved my problems. If I had it to do over again, I would have bought one and used it.
I'm having fun collecting old kits and engines now. I have three OS.61SF engines that will power my old timey pattern type planes. I get the biggest kick out of watching them go straight up without screaming their brains out. <G>
