Into my 3rd year building the Heller Victory model and have hit a wall with the bow rigging re: instructions are horrible.
Bought the Longridge & Peterson books but tough to relate to the complexity of the instructions sheets with the info in the books i.e. rope paths and block placements.
Anyone know of a resource- documents- diagams regarding the step by step - uncluttered rigging of this section, I've spent a lot of time on You-Tube and Pinterest sites but nothing seems adequate enough.
Thanks for help for this novice.
