All fabric covering is Japanese silk. This model was built from a V.K. kit. This is a very close to scale design and I made a few slight modifications to outlines etc. to bring it exactly into line with a good set of scale drawings. The model does not reflect this at all being stable and easily controlled. All the basic aerobatic manoeuvres are possible and it may even be steered on rudder without using the ailerons.
Landings are tricky due to the tall, narrow track undercarriage.
On grass it is easy to tip it over. The covering causes problems. This leads to constant repair work to fabric and paintwork. First flown in 1982 this model won a few prizes at scale fly-ins. Present whereabouts unknown.
