David Ramsden Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just looked back through this thread I started a while back. There are some really lovely looking models in the photos - thanks everyone. Anyway. In the end I embarked on my own design aiming for a cross between two very different models The Deacon and the PD Parasol and using a few of my own ideas for the 'look' and the construction. I'm aiming to keep her very light. Out of respect for Roger Jones 3 and his smiley comment "designing your own 'vintage' model is a bit phoney", I decided to call her the 'Old Phoney'. The Plan is still being tweaked. This is how she looked about three tweaks ago. The ailerons look a bit big but that's cos they're going to be flaperons with quite small deflections and lots of differential. Span will be 71" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
