I scratch built a 1/4 scale

using OS GT-22 engine, flies great, could use more power but would probably rip the wings off original probably wasn't built for speed either. Can do loops, rolls, hammerheads.

a lot of wood and several hours wandering the hardware store for some of the fittings

1/6 aerodrome original in front, 1/4 scale scratch build in rear 1/6 is a "little" overpowered with an OS 55 on it

wings fold just like the real thing, makes transport and set up super easy, 6 screws,
DH-60 moth from blown up aerodrome models plans a few years back, great flier
