Giant scale (100" or larger) DH 88 Comet
Besides Cleveland plans which I hear are hit and miss.. anyone out there know of any good sources for a Giant Scale DH88? Always loved the way that bird looked.. and hoping a GS version would have enough wing area to be more stable 
I've heard these aren't the most forgiving plane to build/fly
I keep wanting to scratch build a GS scale bird, and keep going between a Ziroli, ME-163, or trying to find a DH88 the right size
Thanks!!!

Well, I hope to start a build thread soon on my DH88. 168 inch wingspan gas burner. Been working on the plans on and off for about 4 years now. Got the chance to spend about 4 hours with the replica and my camera out in CA built by Bill Turner. I think the Comet is one of the best looking classic racers of all time. All laser cut parts with foam core wings from the naceles out. Just finishing up the landing gear and canopy mold. Its been fun. Now to find room to build her!!!!
