396 forum posts 111 photos	Probably better to use These on HMEM's site, Julius de Waals cad tends to be inaccurate and not build tested, just my own personal view Roger

44 forum posts 12 photos	Hi David Yes I have and do not remember any problems apart from one or two minor dimensions not shown but easy to either derive or choose to suit. I did freelance some features Andrew

44 forum posts 5 photos	Roger, that HMEM build is truly spectacular with circa 1300 components but I fear that a combination of an inadequate skill set plus remaining life expectancy tells me it is not for me. I shall heed your cautious advice but will probably follow de Waal, constantly checking the accuracy of his CAD. David.

44 forum posts 5 photos	Thank you one and all for your assistance. I have decided to follow De Walls drawings, exercising due caution and probably modifing as I go. Some of the design feature appear to be disproportionate. Time will tell. David.
