      Thanks Ken. It's a one off really based on a design by Andy Blackburn on the OMFC website for a Kawanishi George. It's made from 2mm foam sheet (sold as insulation in the UK) with a printed tissue skin oxfordmfc.bmfa.club/3040-2/

I have been trying to use GIMP for graphics to print on tissue and have failed so far. It's the computer graphics that have me boggled, not the actual printing on tissue which I can accomplish readily enough if I use Adobe, but I can't edit anything in Adobe.

This one is the graphics for a Typhoon No-Cal I found online and flipped the right hand side using Photoshop to get both sides of the fuselage. Another 'cheat' is to look for skins used in simulator programs and rescale those.

    There were a few that used another source of power than rubber- the plane was placed on the ground and the fellow walked away and waited for the thing to start up by itself. How does that work?

      Some are electric and use a small programmable timer for start up, full power, cruise and decent such as this one www.atomicworkshop.co.uk/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66&zenid=rko513usiiuv2hgn27f68l7rn6
