Frank, I like your incidence meter, did you make it or is it a kit?

Hi Philipp, this is original Graupner tool. I have it for many years now. The little ones on the tailplane I found somewhere very cheap. Maybe on the internet. Should not be so difficult to make one yourself.

Arthur Withy burned the Midnight Oil to get his Prefect ready for the Bordertown Aerotow in Oz, and currently in progress. His version is silk-covered and painted with aerosol paint. Maiden flight: 15 minutes...

Thanks Frank, I'll have to see if I can find some more pics of it on the interweb somewhere and maybe I'll make a 3D printed one - my latest learnings. (Can't let Cliff have all the 3D printing fun :D )
