Sopwith Swallow

Hi to everyone at Chesil Mfc.
Just to be different I have now received the parts to start my 'summer' building project. A few weeks ago I decided that I would build something a little out of the ordinary, a Sopwith Swallow parasol monoplane.
Wanting a large model I decided to use the company Arizona Model Aircrafters in the USA. www.arizonamodels.com All I can say is that the parts are of a fantastic quality, the service is great and Jaime who owns the Company is a wealth of information on early aircraft. With so many moans and gripes on standards, quality and service these days I thought you may like to hear compliments where due. Other than being a very satisfied customer I have no connection to Jaime's company. Back to the model: 1/3rd Scale. Span: 104" Weight: anticipated 30lbs. Motor: Zenoah 38 with reduction gear turning a 32" prop. Well thats what I am up to over the next 12 months or so. What are you guys building? whether large or small?

Glad you happy with the kit, send over some construction pics as the build along. i'll post them when i sort out why the web FTP wont let me acces the site...
