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.

Outstanding! How about some tech info.

Hey DJ,

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

[DJ]

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.

:D
