Fleet

My latest project is the Fleet 16B (Finch). Paul gave me this super R/N Models kit (for power RC or rubber.) I cut out some of the wood and it looks like finishing up around 100 grams. It'a simple build but making the radial engine has been time consuming - the model just wouldn't look right without it. I have plenty of time I guess - it will be around 5 months before we get gliding grass.

Another 5 months to finish the Fleet?! And I thought I was a slow builder!!

That is a nice looking model, Tom. I built the R/N Fokker D.VII in the 1990s as a display model. Only took about ten years, and come to think of it I never did assemble all the parts. By then I decided to start building models that could fly.
