Meanwhile, 6 bottles of Valium on standby, it's time to do the airbrakes...

Re: ZUGVOGEL IIIa 1/4.2 SCALE
It would seem that there is a strict sequence in which the holes are drilled that will produce a bind-free system. I won't go into detail, as this looks like a good subject for a later Lockdown Article...
