Hi Stephen:

Thanks for putting that out there again. The DH-2 has always been a favorite of mine, but the rigging has been a bit daunting. This sure helps.

Thanks

Mark

A guide like this is worth it's weight in gold. Many thanks, Tim, for creating it, and to Stephen for posting it.


Cheers,

it can be done!-

this sort of thing is brilliant, it took me nearly a year to gather enough info to even begin to think about rigging this.
at risk of sounding selfish, is there any chance of the same thing for a RE8 or vickers vimy? cos i have these kits in my stash..............
but seriously, thats exactly what i'd like to have handy when doing rigging work, clearly set out and easy to follow.
