Thanks for all the input my original post has aroused, I personally think that the Aurora / Atlanta / Blue Angel, were some of the best looking R/C planes ever to fly. Hanno's planes, beautiful though they were, always appeared to me to be designed for functionality, & they certainly worked for him, I well remember seeing him fly at the Elmbridge Symposium, at Sandown Park, U.K. in the 80's.
Still everyone to their own, & it's great to see the diversity of classics being resurrected, particularly in the U.S., not too sure there's as much interest in the U.K. I'm building an Arrow, ( more suited to the Rossi 61 RE I have ), I'll post some pictures of it, once it's underway.

P.S. I've only recently found this particular forum, & am astounded by the depth of response & information on it, thanks everyone!
