Roland D.IIs? Really??? Wondering since my Hi-Tech Roland D.II has been on or near the bench the last couple of weeks. Also, I quasi-completed my Wingnut Wings F2B last weekend (aside from rigging) but the clumsiness monster struck yet again and I managed to knock the cabane struts (all of them) loose. Ugh!!! And its in markings of F2B A7231 as well. Oh well.<br>
