Default Weeks Solution X

Hey guys- Is anyone flying a Weeks Solution X these days? This was a bipe designed by Miles Reed a few years ago and it flew awesome.

I saw Miles fly one last year.

like a 35% with a B&E motor.

First off Miles is like 175 years old, and he can still fly IMAC with the best of them.
The weeks solution is a very nice plane. Its kind of a "fixed" pitts.

Very cool.

Have you searched over on RCPoo? I found quite a few threads about them. Dave Dessecker owns the rights to this plane. Email is: davepeg@wilkshire.net

Email him about them.

I know that Dave Dessecker has bought the rights to it when Miles retired, the plane has a 77" wingspan and I think it is about 74" in lenght. Was just wondering if anyone was flying one these days and if so post some pics if possible.

It doesn't exist unless you post pictures of it hovering and tail dipping in that hot tub.
