Well done! I have a RC model V-tail done up in my colors and stripes but the resemblance to the full scale Waiex is not very close.

Very nice! Matthew just picked up an interest in R/C. I am encouraging it of course. This was the path I took to full scale. R/C is a lot of fun.

I also flew models for many years (still do), from a young age prompted by my father, Bryan. The understanding you get from models as to how something fly's as no equal Free Flight in particular.
