I don’t know how you do it, but you find the most interesting aircraft. This one looks like one of Roy Clough’s designs. Kind of like a hoopskirt that got squashed, only times two.
Maybe you could show us step by step how you build this one. I’m sure it would be fascinating. That is if you haven’t finished it already!
The Bleriot III. Interesting aircraft,... But I’m still trying to figure out where the pilot sits!

will do it. take a couple of days to get all old foto's together and start on the narritive. its still one of Roy's designs. think that I still have the hoop ring template's laying around. in fact a set of the rings, except that the LE and TE are 90 degree's off. the plans are availble if you can use them. give me a call.. dick

if I find a pilot, he could strattle the battary pack. anyhow - right now modeling is on hold. one of the my long time building and flying buddy's was killed the other day. drunk ran him off the road, his wife not serrously hurt. doesn't do any good that the police caught the drunk, in stolen car. we will miss TOM HUDSON. dick
