Thanks Jim,
Yes it is from an old Veron kit (heavily modified) and it is a beautiful flyer. Over 300 flights now with a Saito 45 up front.
I've decided to do a model of the Flycatcher to the same scale as Tim's. Traplet (the publishers) still had a copy of the original mag with the free plan inside. Unfortunately it got very wet int the mailbox and I had to dry it all out and its now a bit curly.

After ironing the plan, it seems OK and I've now had an enlargement (120%) done at the local copy shop. Engine will be a Saito 56FS as the cylinder head looks very similar the full-size's radial engine - and I happen to have one available. I think I will fit a working sprung undercarriage (the Tomtit has one which works great) and have found a pair of Williams 5" vintage wheels which are just the right size for this model at a scale of 1 6.4. I've also got a couple of rolls of silver Solartex in stock, so the colour is decided.

I'm going to "bite the bullet" and have ailerons on both top and bottom wings with 4 mini servos - one for each aileron. Like that it's easy to set up the differential movement with a computer tx. It also means that I can experiment with mixing in flap via the tx and have variable camber/flap action on all 4 ailerons just like the full-size aircraft!!! We will have to see.

All I need now is some time in the workshop to actually get started!!
