He's doing himself a favour and has the plans of T005 in front of him all the time he's in the shed/garage. Plus he's usually got my help via Skype. He's doing his best not to get confused, but as one can appreciate, it's not exactly easy building "one of these monstrosities"!
I'm doing my best to help from 30 minutes up the road. Yes, I could probably drive and help him, but I do have exams to worry about. He's progressing well, but a distinct lack of pictures probably makes you guys sceptical. I guess you'll just have to wait until he gets a couple of full days and his camera out there. Meanwhile, I'm solving differential equations, and working out bits of particle physics... but that's a completely different subject putting me out of battles until the weekend of June 20th.
