Umi that was the way I was thinking of going, changing superstructure to fit the different scale, but it makes things simpler to leave as is now that I can source figures.
Nemesis I don't begrudge paying the price, just amazed at how much the drivetrain is going to cost overall, two props, two shafts, two motors, going to be no change from a £100 before I start anything else. Modelling was expensive when I first started, the 23 year hiatus I have had since I originally built this craft just seems things have gone into orbit!
