1:1 Avro Baby

Hi
just for interest this is my current project, a 1:1 Avro Baby interactive replica for a Bert Hinkler commemorative museum. People will be able to get in and work the controls.
This 1920's aircraft had a 35hp Green engine.
Wingspan was 25 ft which seems tiny after the last effort, which was the 52ft span DH61.
Next job when the fuselage is finished is to make the wings. If it's of interest I could keep posting progress shots .
The last picture here is the original, displayed in a museum in Brisbane, Australia.

cheers
GeoffR
