Do not drink Red Bull, so do not have wings. Had to device a way to instal flue complete with black seal at the terminal end three floors up

Potterton Lynx died and Logic Plus going in its place

Lynx flue is sub 100mm. Tied a string to Lynx flue and lowered it to ground.

Cored wall for Logic flue
Measured the wall thickness, gap between turret elbow and wall, adjusted telescopic flue. Screwed and taped the two pieces ( not a fan of these sliding flues- give me a 1000mm flue any day of the week instead of these stupid telescopic flues)

Hooked the string and pulled it through a window same floor as the boiler

Passed the string through the flue, turret end first
Pulled enough string through the flue so end of string will remain in the room as flue is hoisted out the window
Tied a piece of copper pipe to the string such that flue terminal acts as a stop and pulling the string will draw the flue.

Start drawing the string until turret end of flue appears at the mouth of the flue hole. Keep string under tension. Using a length of 15 or 22 copper tube lever the flue to horizontal position

Once flue in place, pull the string that goes out the window, around the copper pipe stub, through the flue terminal then into the room. Connect to turret elbow
