Parnall Elf.

Built this fifth scale model of the Parnall Elf 12 years ago,powered with a 90 size four stroke she looks very realistic in the air,not the easiest model to fly as she suffers from the same problem as the real one,that is adverse aileron yaw and you have to use a careful combination of rudder & aileron.
Built mostly from ply & spruce the warren girder bracing is quite novel and looks impressive in flight.
Wings attach as a module via wire pins just like the full size.
Picture taken prior to her first flight with the cowls left off for extra cooling on a warm day.
