You require 2x of the Yellow Technic Lift Arm,one for each wing.

This liftarm is only used to keep parts lined up during assembly. When one wing
is built, the liftarm is removed and used for the other wing. Then the liftarm
is removed again. See images below.

This is incorrect. There is only one of these lift arms in the set. The lift
arm is only used as a support while the engines are being built on each side
of the model. When the first engine is built, it is attached to the engine sides
for support with two black Technic pins. One step later, the pins and lift arm
scaffold is shown in the instructions being removed from the engine after it
is securely attached to the main model. This process is repeated for the second
engine using the *same* pins and lift arm scaffold. After the model is complete,
the pins and lift arm are not attached to the model in any way.
Cheers,
Randy

Please see following post.

In the late version of this set, the cutout brick is replaced by a yellow 2 x
4 plate and a blue 1 x 2 plate. A late version instruction image gleaned from
a video is attached below.

Instructions with brick cutout = 120107

Thanks for this tip!
Do you have a solution for mobile? On mobile the problem is the most prevalent.

No, I don't. I browse with my right hand on the mouse, not on the keyboard.

Interesting...I use these keys with my left hand, but I am extremely fond of
keyboard shortcuts.

Navigation aids are all well and good (especially for mobile devices) but covering

Honestly, I wonder which screens are actually affected - I do not even use full
HD screens (but 1680x1050 on two different computers) and nothing* is covered

I always have at least 3 or 4 windows open so I have them side by side on my
screen. I couldn't work without this! It is also a pain when using my tablet
for inventory work.
Hopefully, the BL team can find a solution that works for a variety of users.

*I just noticed an exception: when browsing a store, the green "Add Items to
Cart" button is indeed covered for a moment if I do not scoll to the very end
of the page.
That's stupid, of course - and should have been spotted by this "world class
development team" before implementation, no excuse.

The most frustration I have is browsing a store, "Help" and "To Top" is located
on top of "add to cart" QTY box. I lost my selected items because I accidentally
clicked "help" instead of the "add to cart" QTY box to add items to purchase.
In a nutshell, this "Help" and "To Top" is causing problems for one of the important
tasks on this website. Add items to your cart to purchase items.

You obviously have not tried any mobile devices then.

I seem to be the only one who likes this "to top" floating button, I liked it
from the first day eBay introduced it and have missed it here since that day.

I agree that the option to switch this on/off might please everyone - but we
already have tons of settings to understand by new users, even most established
users don't even know all of them.
The "help" link is a different thing, imho - it (only) belongs to the top right
(and has to include an easy way to the TOS and all help pages properly indexed)
and to the bottom where it can already be found.

I hate it and it is useless. Especially if you accidently hit it when scrolling
down an order you are packing. Bang right back at the top.
Seriously who thinks of these things? It covers up everything and makes it hard
to even order from another store if one wants to buy the last item on the page.
Have to scroll up just to get rid of the scroll up icon. Trying to help new
users does not mean new users are idiots. I think they know what a scroll bar
is for.
Get rid of it.
