Very nice! It does appear to have controllable pitch propellors?

Bob you are correct!

Carl, holding the Tx during start-up, is the builder of the model and has made everything from scratch!
Engine is home made, partially with turbine parts from Wren.
The following parts are 100% selfmade in his own workshop:
    [*]Eng. gearbox w/ Helical gears[*]Entire Fuse and Flying surfaces[*]Alu. casted Landing gear system (lost wax method)[*]Self feathering prop hub. No torque = feathered props[*]Wheel rims, mains w/ disc brakes[*]Moulded tyres w/ original side inscribsions. Air filled and shape is scale.[*]Spinners[/list]Plus numerous of other parts that I've forgotten.
    Simply an awsome achivement!
