| ftomstark | GWS Me109 | Parked | 03-Mar-11 19:33 |  | | Views : 1648 | | Parts complete. The entire model is covered with computer paper attached with wallpaper paste. This gives a firmer surfaace than the foam and adds considerably to the strength |

| ftomstark | Comet Boeing P-26 | Parked | 17-Apr-10 14:35 |  | | Views : 1177 | | This gives an idea of the small size of the model. Its currently hanging over the breakfast table. My wife wants me to hange more of my models around the house; I marreid a winner. |
| ftomstark | Comet Boeing P-26 | Parked | 17-Apr-10 14:32 |  | | Views : 1134 | | I wanted to fly it but glide test indicate the the horozontal tail is too small, it won't trim for a stable glide. Perhaps if the wing were more scale, ie 3 inches shorter, it would be stable but thee it wouldn't be a 1936 Comet model. That could be a future project, howerve. |
