Mark's model aeroplanes

This wee beast is the Top Flite Elder...

Built from a kit, it's kinda representative of WW1 Eindekker or Bristol monoplane depending on the colour scheme. ..

It fly's really well - sort of... It loops it's heart out, but I've yet to get it to spin...
It's powered by a Magnum 21 and is lots of fun tearing round the sky...

Probably my most successful plane to date, having clocked up 51 flights with only one minor - sort of... prang!

This is a bit of a diffent story...

I built it from scratch, drawing up plans to the scale outline of an SE5...

As a totally inexperienced pilot, on a rutty old field and after ground looping it for about the seventh time...

...I destroyed it attempting it's first take off - Bugger...

My other currently flying machine -
This is a Carl Goldberg Tiger 60.

It's powered by an OS 61F-SR and does everything right... The pilot would appear to be its only shortcomings.
