Oh, that’s a keeper! 

Next time we get together, I must bring the Giant Mannock and we’ll hunting for some Bosch..( ratatatat)

I was thinking of Wings and Wheels in 2025 at the new venue

Beautiful detailing, very nice indeed.

I never can understand why nearly all scale WWI biplanes do not use a scale wing section. They look odd with "thick" section wings when they should use something like this.

The usual excuse is a thin section has bad characteristics yet the Pup was known for its ease of handling.

Not a criticism just an observation.

Full size airfoil, efficient use of power, and chuck ability, and all the wires holds it in place.
Miget size airfoil, less efficient, don’t like that front end if I slam power and up on (nasty stall). (Note I have a lot more power)but crucially, who fancies doing a tensioning regime every flight.

Thinking back to my boating days plane might suffer the same issues 

 

you can scale down a boat but you can’t scale down the water or the weather 

 

possibly with planes you can scale the size down but can you scale the strength to weight of the wood down 

 

Dunno must be some reasons why
