And you believe evrything James May says? The plans were fine, in my
experience.


I suspect that only means that you didn't follow them step by step, so
didn't discover the errors. That works fine with the simpler projects, but
for something like this

http://www.dalefield.com/mwes/dragline/dragline1pg.html

which is a model I built too, you needed to follow the instructions as far
as possible and that is when you found they were not reliable.


I built that model in 1963! And yes, I remember having to modify bits of
it...
