WOW,
You are a very skilled builder. This looks like a great choice for an RC Electric. Thanks for showing your super build of this historic AC.

Just found an article in a new aircraft magazine (Title to come) about the Ryan company making a 4 seat airliner based on The Spirit of St. Louis.

Looks much the same, but it has the front windows that Spirit lacked. Could be a nice complimentary build, although you'd be essentially building the same kit twice.

I'll find out the plane designation and get back to you!

Thank you for the pics. Those are some FINE craft !! I really like the colors on the cessna. The mirrors under your plane are a nice touch. I understand the stuka has alot of external detail work involved.

I'm glad I wasn't a judge for those models.

My web site has exceeded bandwidth at the moment. After the weekend in Scotland, I have had a ton of traffic looking at my home page from visitors at the event . . .

I hope to have it sorted by my provider in the next 24 hours . . .I HOPE! ! ! ! !
