Does anyone know of a 1/35 (or close) r/c scale model out there?
I doing the Hood and, dependant on the answer to this will depend at what point in her career I place the model.

Ok... let's try another tack... Given the small scale, is it even possible to fly (let alone r/c) such a small plane?

There is some really tiny radio control equipment available nowdays. You could checkout this website:

I'm sure the 1:32 flycatcher is possible. Although it would probably be more of a triumph of packaging all the parts in to fit than anything else!

You could probably use blue foam to costruct the fuselage. I've always fancied getting a few of those models and flying them around the school hall at work!

Try Aeronutz in UK, very tricky at that size and limited to indoor or VERY calm outdoor conditions. IMHO stick to a scratch built solid. www.aeronutz.flyer.co.uk

Thanks guys. And those little planes are wicked aren't they?

That Eindecker is amazing - I discovered that site a while back when I was looking up the smart wire or memory wire that's used for the control linkages.

I once made a 1/72 Airfix Fokker Triplane so that little Eindecker must be around the same size! Incredible that you can fit two channel R/C into such a tiny but beautifully made scale model. You could have WW1 dogfights around the front room!

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a twice actual size or larger penny tho - surely someone must make them as a novelty?
