I created my own plans based full size drawings. Again, is my plan to have working leading edge slats and flaps. 

Very interested to see how you are going to do this part of the build. I struggled with my slats fitted to the 1/4 scale Tiger Moth I am building but patience, help from the full size and plenty of head scratching did it in the end.

Fantastic detail you model has already, good job

Slats can be a challenge but is doable. I have done them in other airplane as shown, they are retracted. Are the slats in the tiger moth fixed, or movable ?

I made mine totally moveable.

Just like the full scale, they are spring loaded to ‘pop out’ but then can be held back in the locked position when required.

Hello Gents!! 
 

Because of work travel I have not posted much these days , but I will say that I have acquired a zenoah 62 and the Mike Reevs reduction drive.

This unit including the engine will perfectly fit inside the Pioneer cowling, and btw, have any of you used these units?
