Wow! I thought that my AV36 was rather lightly built but that looks like a featherweight. Impressive.

Ah yes Frank. Good intentions and all that. I got the ASK 13 plan about that long ago along with the canopy, and was quite excited about flying it as I love swept forward wings. Maybe if and when I retire :roll:
It's always calmer indoors :D

Frank,
Just to whet your appetite, this is my 1/5 scale Fauvette from the Mike Trew plan, although I changed the wing section to HQ and fitted micro servos in each V tail half rather than use the pushrod method on the plan. Aileron & Brake servos also fitted in each wing, rather than fuselage.
Turned out to be reasonable flier.
