Trying to decide on which of 3 models to do
PWS 101 half built from Old Gliders Poland - but there is a lot of work still.
Ka6e not started yet from S2G kit.
Or a CW Bergefalke which needs covering and colour scheme.
Only got enough time to do one this year.

Ah yes Roo I'm sure you're right.

But I am drawing up and building a half scale Corby Starlet, two peanut and one open indoor scale models and three for local power club flying, plus the usual repairs to other models.
Oh, and organizing the BMFA indoor scale RC and Free Flight Nationals in March and April too.
That's why there is only time for one scale glider this year.

Will you let me off now? 8-)

With the Grumman Albatross project moving towards completion my thoughts have turned to the next project and I have settled on a Lippisch Storch V, a lightweight motor glider flying wing.
I am now on the look out for any info and documentation about the aircraft. Vince of course has been first class in turning up some info and I have also got some info from the guys on the Retroplane site but could really do with photos of the model, especially any showing detail and of course anything showing the construction.
Hoping someone out there can help.
