Looked at BBI. They have a nice Desert campaign pilot, but I guess I'm too old for that web site...couldn't get past the expanded photo, with the "decommissioned" button...

And thank you Cool Man..... done

You're right, the desert pilot is nice, I have one right here on my desk. The down side is they stopped making it a year or two ago, so you have to go to evilbay or a collector to find one. They also did a battle of britan pilot as one of the first in the series, don't ask what they go for now that they've been out of production for 4-5 years.

It's the battle of Britain one.

A pilot buddy of mine had a few including the brit. I'll ask him if he still has them.

Course, at my rate of "build", won't need a pilot for 5 years or so...just thought it would be nice to have it so i could muddle with the cockpit as I wander along....

Since I'm hardly going to be invited to Top Gun with it I'd given some thought to enlarging the tail stuff.... Opinions please - would it be better to increase the span of the tail, or increase the chord?? Just askin'

well, the plans show the span of the horizontal stab at 25" and the chord varies from 7.5" to 9.5".....so the AR varies around 3 and a bit.. ("and a bit" is a British term used in a lot of their aircraft designs")

This isn't even close to Brian's AR of 6. So what am i measuring wrong..
