Default RE: Got Bleriot?

Hi Abu- here's my Bleriot XI in 'Channel Crosser' scheme before the fuselage float inserted. Louis has run off to go get one- (that's why there is no pilot presently sitting). Scratch built 62" span and OS48fs. It has wing warping and cable controls and functioning oles. The 'wicker' seat (not seen in this photo) is made from strips of manila folder. Fold the folder in half, make cuts almost to ends, unfold and secure ends, thread 'free' stips through, lacquer stain and clear dope, let dry and then remove from board to fashion into a seat! It flies... like a Bleriot!
