Well I do seem to have stuck my foot in the hornets' nest.
Firstly I apologise to those who have taken offence at my 'criticism' of the instructions, particularly Dave Milbourn. My use of the word kludge was clearly inappropriate and I should have checked the dictionary.
I also had absolutely no intention of rubbishing Model Slipway kits and I apologise for any implication in that direction. I am quite happy with the kit which I bought in the full knowledge that it might challenge me in places. I bought it partly on the recommendation of others that MS will provide support.
I do however dispute the implication that one cannot question something like this just because the company has a good reputation. I have in the past queried things that have been long established to be told by the relevant authority "Oh yes, no-one's noticed that mistake before", so if I think it may not be right I try to check.
If the original Aziz had offset rudders then that is fine. If not then I will know that the things are 2.5mm off and it will bug me, even if it isn't obvious. Sorry, that's just me.
And in answer to your last comment DickyD, it is already being documented on my website at
http://www.sol.me.uk/, though there isn't a lot there yet as I haven't got far - obviously.
