Yes I remember the electric D/F B52's that Chris built but he also did a much larger D/F Version powered by 8 Engines, all I/C engines too...imagine trying to synchronise that lot....!!! I remember seeing the pics in RCM&E when it was under construction...It was Huge...!!! A few pics of the completed article under tests followed in later mags. (Going back a few years now but roughly the same time as he did his BAC Lightning and Tornado.....I remember they were powered by .81 & .90 I/C D/F engines) The Main U/C wheels were those sort you see on baby buggies (thats what he used for them...!!) I remember it crashed on one of it's first few shows.

Chris did a baby B52 for electric power followed much later by his 12ft span electric D/F Version.

It was much bigger than these electric D/F ones, (Those baby buggy wheels are 5" diameter and were to scale on the original model that Chris built)................shame there are no pics on the net, I might still have the original mags around somewhere and can scan one in if I can find it...!!

Regards......Mark
