Hi Jan, I've put Flg Off Henry M Ferris into Goggle and found some info on the "Battle of Britain Monument" website. Recommend you do the same as it gives a lot of history and photo's of this pilot. Regards Mike

Hi Jan, " Osprey Aircraft of the Aces.18. Hurricane Aces 1939-40". Not a lot of information but does show the image you mention also that while with 111 Squadron it was a regular mount of "ace to be" Flg Off Henry M Ferris. L2001 was finally written off in a fatal accident at Hatfield 19 June 1940. Hope this helps. Regards Mike

Hi Mathew, Have found the instruction manual to the Hi Boy Series II. I'm afraid it gives no information regarding control throws and the CG is "With the tank FULL the model should hang slightly nose down when supported under the wings between 1/4 to 1/3 of the width of the wing (cord) back from the leading edge." Not very helpful advice as I would never balance a model with a full tank? What I can remember when I had one of these kits ( 30yrs ago?) is tank height was a problem?? Also it weighed a lot but could take a fair bit of punishment. The instructions do mention "drawings", but I haven't come across those but the advice and link given by DD is very useful. Mike

Hi Mathew, I have a Hi Boy (aileron ) kit partially built that was donated to me. Have to see if there are instructions included so will get back to you. Mike
