Default RE: Wittman D-12 BONZO

I have origional blue line drawings from William F. Kerka. I also have drawings by Harold Osborne. For a little 'trouble' money I can get copies to you. You can find the Kerka drawing, albeit much smaller, in EAA's 'The Golden Age of Air Racing' book which is THE Holy Grail of pre-WWII air racing! Here are some 'teaser' photos of my 1/4 scale job. The plug in wings have flaps and ailerons which are driven by torque tubes within torque tubes- just like the 'real deal'- no crappy servos hanging out in the breeze for me! I need to finish it. What a ride! Steve Wittman is the greatest race pilot of all time, bar none!
P.S.- if you are with the group that is building 1/3 sized racers then tell 'Mudflap' he still owes me for info I supplied on the 'Goon'! I laid out to get that stuff copied and sent to Merry Ol' England and he screwed me so no more 'gratis' stuff from me!
