Colin Leighfield Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Looks as if some pillow-cases will be needed then. An Auster with a tick pattern could look quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 You've done a great job there Tony. What a mammoth build effort. (Half-way)? When you have finished that will be a great flying plane, it's bound to be because the full size one is and you are dead-on scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
