Congratulations!!

I had the pleasure of viewing this model at the World Championships  here in the UK last month.
Gentlemen, I can tell you, close up, it's absolutely stunning!
I don't know where to start on telling how brilliant this model is. The paint. The detailing. The Flying, (in 19 mph) all of it was exceptional. The builder ( Ben, I believe) is a scale modeller master.
It is truly a flying work of art.
As you can see, I was impressed 
Allan

I saw this model on the stand at Buckminster. I didn't find the owner , but I guess he was out on the flightline helping or cheering on one of his buddies. The model looked exceptional.

Thanks guys.  

John- there were about 10 different places to be at any given time!  It continues to surprise me how busy a WC is.  Too bad we didn't get to meet up.

Hi Ben,
Yes I was only there for one day but it looked pretty hectic. Shame about the wind conditions. Nonetheless I saw some excellent flying. Sadly, I did not see your Fairchild fly.
The model is a credit to you Ben.

Thank you John.  It was too bad about the wind but I was very impressed with how well the slow planes did in it.  As far as I know there weren't any incidents due to the wind.
