Bought an Utter Kaos 60 from BlueJay models
 

I was pleased with the balsa and the service from BJ models, however I was shocked a bit to realize that the instruction manual was only text vs a photo illustrated manual that I am using on my 4*60. I could sure use some help from anyone who has buit a Bridi kit from text especially photos of the building process vs completed covered models.

TIA

All the Bridi kits were this way. I suppose BlueJay didn't change anything?

If you've built a few kits, they are straight forward. The bottom of the airfoil is straight from midpoint to trailing edge on the bottom.

There are shims supplied to make the wing straight.

I have the plans copied at the printers and work off the copied prints - saving the originals

You will find a detailed build with hundreds of pictures somewhere on here. I'm thinking kits but it may have been Senior Pattern?

YEP! The Bridi kits have always been a "Buildiers" kit, but boy do they fly well!

Two things Blue Jay changed from the original are:

1) drilled two holes per rid to allow building on wing jig

2) fuselage is one long solid piece

Happy Thanks Giving to all on RCU :)
