Have to agree, very impressive.

If I can offer a suggestion Todd, the wings need a little bit of dihedral, not a lot though. A drawing I've seen shows that even though the top of the wing seems perpendicular to the fuselage, the bottom of the wing is not --- so the center of the wing has a slight dihedral to it. 3 degrees comes to mind but I need to find the drawing again.

Ya I noticed thst too Robert. I was thinking about breaking the wing off and scarring the plastic to give it a wee bend. It's acyually bothering me as I fly it around my hotel room ;-)

Wouldn't a slight tweak with a pair of pliers right next to the fuselage do the trick ? 'cause it wouldn't need much in the scale your building.

No with the white glue I have any wee bit of pressure breaks....i popped the wing off, cut in in half ( knocked two engines off in the process....) and re-glued them. I set it flat on the desk with toothpicks under the wings to hold them in place.
