I should mention that Fantasy was done a very long time ago, over 30 years ago.

In the past I used cellulose car paints and enamels in air brushes. The gold and solid metallic purple where spray cans.

I do know that the DVII could not climb as high as the DH4 -

Just finished my new model. It is based on my 1984 designed Pee Tee Sportster Reduced in size and converted to electric power. I would now say don't reduce the size but built it to the full 54" span. Now all we want is some rain free days so we can get across the the flying field without being completely bogged down. Span is 48", Weight 2 lbs 1 oz. CG came out spot on. Same power train as The Ohmen. -
After my one very basic design for a Correx model many, many years ago. Your model is totally amazing. I would not have believed Correx could be used to produce such an accurate and realistic model. WELL DONE

Superb Graham!. Longing to see it in flight. Must charge the camera battery. Now, everyone get down on your knees an pray hard for some calm, sunny weather. -
I was told this story by someone who was there and I saw the pictures. A helicopter was being run up at RAF Changi after servicing. One test was to hold a a strip of cloth on a frame to check for tracking of the blades. One of the blades started going wild and everyone dived for the monsoon ditches. Then the bloke who had fitted the pin to the blade realised that he had not fitted it properly and he stopped and looked back. Those in the ditches where OK. He didn't survive.

I can imagine that. I had a lift home in a Meteor T-7 and one of the vivid memories was as as we circled over an airfield to land. I felt I was being crushed down and the bone dome was pulling my head down. Then the pilot said "ARE YOU OK. I am taking it easy as you are not used to it." I also will never for get the instructions before we took off and this is word for word. "If we get in to trouble I will slow the aircraft down to 100 knots and jettison the canopy. You climb over the side of the cockpit and slide off the wing. IF you miss the tailplane count to ten and pull the ripchord!!!
