Default RE: RE: Post photo of your WW-I model:

To Idigbo: I always thought that my friend, Hank Iltzsch was the only one that built WW-I models that couldn't be recognized from that of the real airplane, but you are definitely in the same league. Those photos of your DH-2 are magnificent. Way back in 1976, my friend George Privateer built a DH-2 and we powered it with a Quadra 35. Had to add a couple pounds of lead to the nose to make it balance. George hand carved the pusher prop, and I assume you did the same for your 30 incher. How does the belt drive perform? What pulley ratio did you use?
