"Your Stampe is a beautiful plane"

I built a 1/4 Scale Svenson model of that thing once. The squadron marking was a penguin on the tail. Belgium markings I believe. Flew absolutely great. One of the guys was driving into the field when I did a loop, and later told me that at the top of the loop, he was holding his breath, waiting for it to go over the top. The thing was sooooo draggy, that at full throttle, it flew the same speed straight down, as it did in level flight:-))))))))))))))
