Time for an r/c version, depron brigade would love it. Uninspired colour scheme though. We could always imagine that they went into production and cut loose with the "private owner`s" imaginary colours. Why am I thinking Rupert Moore, Barry? |
*** You have just jogged my dusty memory cells Duncan,one of the magazines promised a plan for electric,the same chap that did the Chrislea Ace,nothing appears to have come of this ? yes the round fuselage is a bit of a pain,perhaps good old planking is the answer,and a big yes to depren,light and bouncy,discovered a way of painting it lightly with artists acrylic as well.
I am beginning to wonder if Rupert Moore did tackle this subject,he certainly did a cover painting for the Aeromodeller,I can see it in my mind now,yes go and design a decent scheme,what does it matter with civil anyway ? the Luftwaffe had a project for a very similar machine to the Zaukonig that was never constructed,makes me wonder if the design had other connections for wait for it- 'The peoples aeroplane' the Volkswagon of the skies,it is a nice thought anyway ? so what about a 'what if' in Luftwaffe colours ?
