Rick Rawlings Posted April 14, 2022 Posted April 14, 2022 Very nice! Now if we can just get him and chill31 to do some comparison flights, someone could make the ultimate rotary flight model! Quote

catch Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 She's a beautiful bus socrate and no mistake. They don't make 'em like that anymore. And I still marvel at things like the amazing engineering of rotary engines and synchronising/interrupter gear, neither of which I fully understand, but were so much a part of the Great War. Quote
