How sad that after all the work that it’s destroyed shortly after it’s first flight.

Glad he’s recovering and already planning for his next project.

I think it had done about half a dozen flights, mostly just short ones. Interestingly there is another Nieuport replica about ready to do its first flight at Watts Bridge (similar colour scheme).

That one is a Type 11??. In the plans for it, there are two sizes for the rudder, one 28 inches high, the other 32 inches high. If I can get some video of it flying, I will put up a posting.

cheers
