Sorry for tuning in late, I simply missed out on this thread. An intriguing aircraft en another great build. You made the right choice to purchase the laser cut set Isaac, it really has saved you from very painful fingers....
It's a pity that certain kits somehow have not been test-built properly, or the graphics checked. Designer and publisher cut in their own fingers as a matter of speak. The devil is always in the details and by now I know from experience the value it brings to the end product, and of course the joy instead of frustration at the builder's end.
On the other hand, and experimental aircraft like this requires an experimental building approach, which suits you more than fine
.
Cheers,
