Turner gave Brown the original build order for his Special. Came out overweight. He took it to Chicago and Laird rebuilt it with new wings and the rest is history. Matty Laird was a member of our Illinois Model Aeroclub back before WW1 when Bill Stout was our tech advisor.
Love it! Cheers! It never occured to me to pin down the wing while the tissue was drying, brilliant!
Great model, nice video and very pleasant voice - over. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great Oliver, I hope you can get it back together.
Very nice explanation and build! I still struggle to get anything to fly and you make it all look so easy. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent build and looking forward to seeing more
Beautiful piece of work...nice!
Beautiful! Nice work and flight!
Nice work Oliver. Great subject. I've been looking at this design for a while now. Hope to see it at Durham!
Beautiful !!
Very nice!
I've always loved the lines of this plane. I'll have to build one- thanks for the inspiration! What did your airframe weigh, ready to fly less the rubber motor?
Thank you! The plane is no longer in 1 piece so not 100% sure about the weight 😆but I'd guess it was ~15 grams without rubber or ballast. Dime scale I usually aim for 10-15, with larger planes like this falling closer to 15-20 sometimes.
What happened? Beautiful job!
