From 17" wingspan up to 98.4" Pictured are two Hyperion ARF, one is 47" the other is 37" wingspan. To go with them I have 3 L-4 Grasshoppers and 4 Storchs. I do like high wing warbirds... Paul

Well, they aren't done but I made some good progress today. The good news is there will be a turtle deck on the nose for a more scale shape and front and rear windshield shapes. The shapes on the top right of the first page of plans are the former for the cockpit area and a guide for the angle when gluing the fuse into place. Last edited: Mar 1, 2015

I will probably use poster for the windshields, too. I think my plans are far enough along for a prototype. I'll be doing a test-build this week for sure.
