Hello there Liam,

And welcome back to the hobby. Glad to hear that you got the watchful eyes of a mentor to guide you. Just to let you know that a lot of guys here are very good at building aircraft too. They'll be glad to share their experiences with you and give some pointers too... Anyway welcome to the community and being a beginner I do hope to learn things from you.

Enjoy your stay,

Cheers,
Nandakumar

PS: Does the name Liam mean William?

Hi and welcome liam...

Glad to hear you are back into modelling. As for the rigging, I have used elastic sewing thread and a quick once over with a lighter flame to burn off frays and to stretch the line taut. I am sure others here have much better ways than me though , so good luck !

Regards, Dan

Welcome aboard Liam...it's good to hear you've picked the hobby back up again and under the ever watchful eye of a mentor to boot. Enjoy the forums.

Welcome aboard, Liam. Do you mean rig as in biplane? Out of my area, but I'm sure other forum members can help. Sorry about the diabetes-it does take some of the spontenaity out of things. Happy modelling. - Ed
