again it is a great model, but one thing about the wheels and struts, the wheels DID line up with the struts, they were not straight with the ground, if the wheel did not line up with the strut, the bulge present on top of the wing, that is there to make room for the wheel assembly as it is, would have to be several times bigger to allow for the wheel at such an angle to the strut to fit in the wing when landing gear is in the stowed position. although there are no bulges on the Emil models there are on later models, which got bigger as the ac became heavier, requiring larger wheels and tires. here are a few pics..

Well, you are resembling a Fluvian more everyday but nonetheless, this is an excellent "wingy thing", much better than the aircraft I tried.

Nice,
Andrew
