Default Got Bleriot?

Looks like I might finally have a fellow scale builder at my field! Today, the same guy (Ikeda-san), who had scratch-built an EIII a while ago, had a scratch-built Bleriot to maiden! Based on 3-views from the internet he did some CAD drawings and built from those. I was particularly impressed with his solutions for the functional suspension. The model included rudder and elevon (?) control. No wing warping. On take-off, it climbed like crazy and the test pilot had a heck of a time bringing it back around with little yaw control, but did well to accomplish a rough landing that took off the undercarriage but left the rest of the model intact.

Anyone else got a Bleriot...or Bleriot photos to post?
