That's almost too cute, the wheels are cool!

That is way nice mr. Skali. How much area, dimensions, etc. I may like to scale one up for an 020. Please let us know how it does in the air.

Nice work, Skaliwag! It is kind of shocking to see such a tiny engine able to haul a relatively huge plane around. Here's to many happy flights!

I find the threashold for the .010 to be 7oz for this type of model. It would more than likely fly a heavier, large area floater with a pod.

Very nice. It looks like it could have come right out of a magazine in the 60's.

I think a payload competition with .010s would be more interesting than what is run with .60s.

Hi Bipe... I am having my 2nd childhood.... I was a child in the '60's.
This one must have come from an old mag that I was checking out when I was about nine. If you look at the first pic, the plan, the cabin has a port hole for the rear occupant ...... Circa '56 or '57.

Hi CP...... Now a TD .010 Pay load is indeed food for thought.. Wonder if DARPA would send a research check.

Perhaps a Payload contest for any size might be an idea???

Nice work and nice plane!! Should fly very nicely.
