I'm new to this forum business so if there's a few mistakes along the way please forgive me!!
I hope to make this a thread about the construction and flying of a 1/6th scale Parnall Elf. To hopefully whet your appetite, I'll start at the end and post a photo of the finished model. Here goes:
The project started about 3 years ago when I was given a pile of free plans from various mags one of which was for the Parnall Elf. I was hooked; a pretty biplane, upright engine, folding wings (No fiddly rigging to contend with) and last but by no means least, not a Tiger Moth!
A little bit of research soon revealed that the designer had been stretching the truth a bit when he descibed it as a scale model, so I set about redrawing the plans.
That's enough for now, I'll submit this and if I get any interest shown I'll continue the saga.
