*** We have spoken before here about these astounding models,the detail is little short of being aircraft in miniature with engines as well under the cowlings,although the technique is a secret the parts appear to be pre-formed alloy pressed pieces that are assembled around dolly blocks and these tiny rivets,if you could develope some sort of riveting crimping tool then that would be the answer but there certainly is a lot of work that goes into them,probably thousands of hours in fact.He has a ready market for everything he makes,he is the Gerald Wingrove of the aircraft world.
The first all metal flying radio controlled model aircraft was made by a Mr Holloway who flew his Beagle Pup at the British Nationals back in 1965,prior to that Frog marketed the Pioneer all metal flying model aeroplane which utilised crimped lightweight alloy for its structure,one of these would certainly be considered a collectors piece today.
