Looking splendid Pete, can't wait to give it a stroke on Saturday.

I thought having your picture taken standing on your head (image 334) showed off the Vampire very well, but was a bit concerned to see that you were giving it the thumbs down!

That was a fast build Pete, considering......... :woohoo: Looking the part now, but I am also looking forward to the grand covering and fitting out which I hope does not take another gap year or so out. ;)

Another impressive build Pete, I think you must be only half human because the other half is machine !!

Awesome job - is there a common spar for the wings or are they individually attached and braced to the fus'?

John, the outer panels are on tubes,the inner panels are glued to the fuselage structure with a 1/4 ply dihedral brace on the front and a 1/8 ply brace on the rear.Incase David decides to 3d the vampire I have gone belt and braces by adding extra 1/8 light ply shear webs around these joints and pinned the whole lot with1/8 dowels.
