Talking

hello !
and here is the ANTOINETTE just now been totally completed .....except for the Pilot figure. This is given as a flat picture and I am trying to figure
a way to turn the profile into a body figure, maybe sandwiching the paper figures around some balsa......
Anyway it is now ready to make a flight. Hope the warp is overridden by the rudder, if necessary.otherwise I will just make an extra wing, materials are on hand, no problem
... now with the "engine" installed it finally
shows some reality. Even the two control wheels for the pilot`s hands are included.

SIG is sending me the next model of the Pioneers of Flight : the DEPERDUSSIN
this other model is similar to the Antoinette, it was created about one year after, (1910-11)
in France
and there is plenty of reference materials like fotos and referrals to Museums, etc
