Great stuff. Read through the manual and found the dimensions. Length and width were almost spot on!

Posting stuff online can be very rewarding. Yesterday someone on Facebook shared photo's of his own Herkules II. He actually owns one in his collection and shared several photo's. Needless to say this results in a list of necessary changes I'll need to make. First: the wheels. 

My 3D skills are not good enough to replicate the wheels 100%, but I can make them way more accurate than my first try.

Just received a whole set of photographs and measurements from Arsenal-45. Amazing stuff. Where is was first short on reference, I now have it in abundance! 

Here's a newer pic of my wheel (37cm in diameter) and a new reference photo.

Great reference material and just in the nick of time before you printed it

Doing numerous changes based on the photo's and measurements I received from Arsenal45. 

One detail is the double lock that secures the handlebar. Will look the whole thing over a few more times, but then it should be OK-ish enough.

Well. Here goes nothing!

Jeroen, your creative genius has no limits. Bravo! 

[JeroenPeters]

Test fitted the wings. Perfect fit. Added the fastener strips to the inside of the underwing panel openings.

This build is going pretty fast due to great fit and engineering.
