1/10th scale Dr.1

Thought I'd share this with you. Model is for freeflight, rubber power - just for the hell of it!

You are braver than I to send all of that work free flight!

Kit or scratch built?

I agree. To free flight all that work....I dunno. I still have RC helicopters new sitting in the box because I don't want to prang them all up, let alone free flight them!
