Cool David!

Do show us the model when you have it.

I've always wanted to build a Hanno championship aircraft and haven't yet. The Dalotel is an interesting subject; I think it embodies the first scale model that Hanno flew in tournament (at the TOC I believe). His oversize model was powered by a gear reduction OS Hanno. I think at the time, the FAI still hadn't lifted the displacement restriction on engines and OS produced a few geared 60's for a couple for years.

It's also possible that I might be mixing dates up and he flew it with a twin 2c 60. I've seen pictures of the nose but forget now. I think they might actually be in the thread I posted above.

David.

Edit: Yup, on looking at that nose of Hanno's model, it appears he's got a geared twin 60! Frankly the model is huge so it probably wouldn't have lifted off even with a geared 60. If only I could remember when the FAI restriction was lifted. Everyone here knows, its' just my feeble mind!
