Glad to hear you like it! Please share some pictures when you get it all together!

I've also updated my blog with a crude assembly guide for the Helios with links to pictures and posts throughout this thread to ease assembly and hopefully answer any questions you may have. I also have the recommended settings in there and my set-up on my personal ones, start there and work your way around until you're comfortable.

Looks great! Kristof really knows how to build a dlg. Keep up the good work kristof. When can we expect molded hollow wings?

In my thoughts I can almost see it give me all those victories I dream about?!
