BTW, you might like to see my only other attempt at (non-flying) scale. This was about 20 years ago and had a 36" wing span, which I thought was huge. It was entirely scratch-built and had a little switch in the cockpit that turned on a little electric motor that (sort of) spun the wooden propeller. I was so proud. Now I think it looks pretty primative (the photo makes it look better than it was).

The photo is the only thing left.
