Wow! Nice airplane. Love to see it fly.

Thank you, Scott I hoped to be able to fly it this summer, but the weather here in the North Atlantic has been very rainy and windy all summer. There are some old flying video on my channel though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b37chaqGeahnfK8 B.

Congratulations, a beautiful model with some lovely practical scale details, hopefully you will get enough control authority without the wing warping. I’m sure it could be added later if required. Top work. 👍

Thanks Nick Hopefully it'll get some days of good weather to practice this summer. B.

Great video! I think I have watched all your Bleriot videos. I just started building similar size Bleriot, and I find your videos very helpful.

[@birgiredwald]

Thanks for your comment. I look forward to see some build videos on your channel. 👍

Nice job of reproduction, a wooden propeller would be better, but you would have to add weight. And you've already put in plenty. In mine I put the ailerons to have more control in flight, since distortion is impossible on small wings. I have to test it again, since my os 5cc 4-stroke is small and does not take off.🖐

Thanks for the comment. I agree on the wooden propellar. I have a Turnigy 10x4 wooden proppeller ready but have been using a Robbe 10x5 plastic one while building currage and competence. The SC 30 FS engine has marginal power similar to your OS. I can see in one of your videos that you have been using a 10x5 wooden prop and a plastic one also. How do they compare? B

@@birgiredwald Unfortunately I had to replace the engine with a 6.5cc 4 stroke as it couldn't take off. I have yet to test it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWjZfp-rf6t2sJo

[@birgiredwald]

It has also crossed my mind to do so 🙂. I'm looking forward to a video of that test.
