Two 1/4.5 scale Gothas fly together at the 2016 Dayton Dawn Patrol Rendezvous. I built mine a few years ago and Greg Hahn built one last winter to the same scale. They both handled well even with the crosswind. It was a real thrill having them both in the air at the same time! The fighters buzzing around added to the effect.

Greg is building a 1/4 scale Caproni bomber now and a friend of mine is building a 1/4.5 scale Vickers Vimy. Next year should be interesting to say the least!

Thanks! To me, that was about as much fun as scale R/C modeling gets!
