Re: Herr Pitts Special
Absolutely stunning even by your standards, Monz! Totally gorgeous little model. When Alex Whittaker sees that at the Nats he's going to go wild I reckon.
Re: Herr Pitts Special
Cheers Pete. Loving your Caudron too
By the way, thanks for the tip on Rub n Buff on Dave's Tabloid build, I used that on the prop and got pretty close to a half decent representation of a polished aluminium prop.

Re: Herr Pitts Special
I love it Monz, you have excelled yourself again! Will we see it at the Nats?
Re: Herr Pitts Special
Congratulation Monique!
It looks so clean, you could place it in a museum...
But I hope that you wont do that, since I want to see it in the air!
You have already a new project in mind?

Congratulations Monz!
Just saw you flying Little Stinker on your youtube channel. It looked realistic in flight, nice and stable and a smooth landing. The checkerboard and stripes paint job showed really well.

You begin flying with a full bag of luck and an empty bag for experience. The object is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

Re: Herr Pitts Special
Well done, Monz, on a terrific Indoor Scale Nats 4th place with this beauty today. I missed the crucial flight, so hope someone videoed it. Here are the Open Rubber results for those interested. (Congrats on still being Kit Scale champ too of course!)

Re: Herr Pitts Special
Thanks Pete, appreciate it. I don't think anyone got a video of the Pitts flying though.
I'm busy uploading all I have.

Re: Herr Pitts Special
Hi Monz,
I am busy looking at the videos you upload, so thanks...
Judging from the trimming flights, and much to my surprise, the Pitts seems a great flyer. I say suprise, because I never though it could fly like that in free flight. A pity about no flight video, but I was more than compensated by your Fokker flight.
While watching it I thought to myself: ok, all you have to do is built it at exactly the same weight, with a painted finish and super scale detail and you can sweep the competition for many years to come...Wishful thinking, really, just like wishing my rubber models would fly like it...
I do not know your plans about November, but Nijmegen is a great place to be at that period...

Re: Herr Pitts Special
It would be a great shame if no one videoed it, given all the wonderful vids you took of nearly everyone else! (Tim maybe?)
Agree- get it to Nijmegen!
