if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Sorry, Tony, with R being next to T on the majority of keyboards, I assumed a typo!
Now Mike has called it a split pin, I can see what you mean - I suppose they do look vaguely like a very elongated R, side on!![[badass]](/media/kunena/emoticons/bad_boys_20.gif "[badass]")

Not really split pins Mike , as with split pins the usual way was to bend the legs outward, so taking them out was a bit of a pain, these just pull out, and then reused over and over again .

Fair enough - must have been wrongly naming them, not that I used any in decades. never mind years

Found my "R" pins/clips in the shed, right under my nose on the bloody bench. 
wings now lock in place. will try it to see if i need two pins per wing or if one will be enough.
I think i need some bigger props still, but they are on order.
so she is finished.

It's a good job they weren't invented by a person called Soles!

Apart from a few minor things to do.
the Vickers Varsity is FINISHED.
Ran up the motors today out on the patio.
she toddles round happily on half throttle and and full chat i have a problem holding her back.
so fingers crossed she will fly fine.
