Guys, I think I found the perfect plane for my 212!! All wood construction covered in Ultracote, easy to fix when I crunch it
What do you think? A little spendy, but what isn't these days?Tom |

Nice looking weeks, and yea i think that it should have enough power..But it's still not a pitts..
By the looks of how things are going on the weeks, i would say that you should have it finished by the time that a pitts arrives so don't let that stop you.. I am building a pitts similiar in size to your weeks, and i have a Exclusiv Modellbau Pitts waiting for me to get started on it, might have to wait a little longer however.. The more biplanes at the flying feild the better i always say..The rest all look the same after a while.. |
