It looks quite tidy to me! but the it would be hypocritical if I criticised.

I don't sea a problem dropping the hull on to tires I thought it would be quite safe .

Manos doesn't do Falcon any favours at all does he!

Whilst the glass work it'self looks OK, the eratic, or jagged edge border of the balsa core, and it's generaly ill-fitting aplication on the underside of the floor moulding, is a sign of 'poor attention to detail', that we're quite familiar with now, in the pictures posted by Manos, of the famous Falcons.

My Dear Mr. Fuller

Pray let me explain!

Unfortunately I made a few mistakes in one of my posts which I was unable to correct. As my Quality control was a lengthier process than the window of oportunity for corrections.

My comments were not aimed at the quality of Lamination, I actually believe I could do better, or at least worry about it until I did do better. The paucity of quality control in the lamination process is worrying! However you are forgetting the power of the flocoat!

Mt comments were purely aimed at the tidyness (or not) of the workshop. As I am not the worlds tidiest person then it would be hypocritical of me to criticise.

The comment that Manos doesn't do Boatmad any favours should have read Manos doesn't do Falcon any favours in as much as the photographs he post's. As I have said previously Beware of Greeks bearing GIF's I would be please if you coul edit that bit of text fro me!

The tyre comment I stand by, although sexy engineered cradles are preferable, I see no harm coming from tyres mebbe a black mark or two.

I stand by my comments about the optical illusion that has duped Matt into believing you have a ginger Halo

Happy new year

OK, I've edited your words.

Fore sure, the tyres won't harm the hulls, but how would you move the hull around the workshop?...not easily, and damage during the process has to be more likely.

It's just another sign of the 'Kwality' of this fine builder, after all, what would it cost to build a few castored cradles in timber? fkk all!

Still, I suppose there'd be no shortage of tyres, even after the huge call they get for burning necklaces out there!
