Nice! 8)

Looking at the short fuse with that large rudder and elevator, I'm guessing they are a handful on the ground, similar to the Pitts Specials that I've built and flown.

Hey DJ,

Those are amazing models mate. Are they easy to fly?

Both planes are powered by Brison 2.4 engines. They weigh about 15.5 Lbs. They actually fly with a 20" 4 blader. They balanced with no weight required to reach the CG. The fuselage is a stressed balsa monoqouce (?). The really weird bit is they are by a large margin the nicest flying models I've built. They even handle well on the ground. There will be a construction article in MAN shortly.

Hello DJ!

You did a wonderful job (especially the details around the pilots seat)! But I would be afraid to damage one of these machines during a flight or or a landing accident.
