That's luvverly Bruce. Just spray on a few Hollywood cobwebs and noone would know the difference!

Evander was 60" that's all IIRC.

Evander: "Yes Apple that's wot I typed. "

Guilty, m'lud .... I just looked at the pic without noticing the heading - duh! Still, at least I know my old airplanes!

Don't worry Apple it could have been worse!...

The two ugly ones (Evander and Frankenstein) are to set off the charm of the "Force Four" - just about qualifying as Vintage now I guess.

I've never thought of 'Frankenstein' as an attractive airplane but it does have an angular charm of its own!

C'mon, get real---ugly, unatractive---Frankenstein is beautifull thing.

Was the second power model l ever built, first was a Little Vagabond, both powered by a Penny slot E.D Mk2, and l loved 'em both.

Built another Franke. in '81 with a E.D Comp.Special, and the 'beautifull' thing still flys like a bird. Yellow heavy Modelspan, and even a D/T timer.

Have another Lil. Vag. as well, with an lndian Mills 1.3. Both 'plane and motor are spot on.

Can't help but love the 'ugly' ones. ls it the charm, or do l just feel sorry for 'em?

Assume that Joan edited in that line while your back was turned?

When you're young and easily impressed any model that you invested your dreams, blood and sweat into looks beautiful when it's flying well. The ones that don't fly well are best forgetten and placed under a heavy boot....
