Ive got to agree Bruce. Some of it is nice looking stuff but with due respect a lot of the main components are pretty much scrap anyway. ie they have a very limited use. The table although atractive would have limited demand and that would be reduced I guess by the price. Ive seen aircraft for sale to restore to static condition for less than that and I know which Id rather have.

But saying that its each to their own and it wouldnt do for us all to like the same thing.

You say that you wouldnt have been brave enough.

I remember seeing one hung up I think at Cosford as a cadet fascinated by the contraption (I was there to fly Grob Vigilents) and I thought at the time how it could be good fun.

With age though we become a bit more sensible and less willing to take risks.

Saying that health and Safety would never allow it these days.

If the claims prove to be true it shows that in many ways there is still in some quarters a disregard to our aviation heritage. The airframes certainly look savable (is that a real word) from the picture provided.

I thought Id read on the thread about the Buchon been sold that they were goin pre war with their next project. A hugely important aircraft although no further details were mentioned. Cant find the thread though.

If your wanting something a little larger try Traplet Publications. They have a plan in their range for an electric ducted fan radio control model. Despite being electric the model is still to a decent size scala and if the old grey cells are flickering correctly large enough to accept retractable undercarriage.
