Watching!

slow progress, a lot of very tiny parts and fit has to be perfect on the frame. So far so good though

I love the Flettner from Mini Art, simply a top model 🙂 and made perfect by you so far 👍 but think of the lead in the nose, otherwise the little hummingbird won't stand on his feet 😉 I have winding lead right away housed behind the seat in the 2 tubes

Roy Seine
Good point i was thinking of adding lead to the fuel tanks on the side since they are infront of the rear wheels, i hope that should give it enough balance to stay on the ground

Jens
the lead in the pipes is 24 grams, can you put that in the tanks? , I have taken the angler's lead, called the winding lead, the whole reel twice in the pipes and it is still running out

Roy Seine
i figure if the lead doesnt work ill just put a small bit of blue tack to the bottom front wheel.

The Hummingbird! Those intermeshing rotor blades are pretty cool. Great subject and your attention to detail is superb.

Roy Seine
Working on the cockpit and weathering
