I like the looks of those models... IIRC, the spar is only like 0.040" thick with boron on the top and bottom. That was the part that seemed difficult to me...

Thank you Mike. In the future I'll try it. But first I'll learn to walk before I'll start running.. I flew F1D in the years 1986 - 1990.
I'll remember that the sadly past away Laury Barr as one of my instructors. My personal best at that time was 34'56" at Cardington.
So, I picked up again and I'll build the new ships the traditional way with Green Violet film bought from Orsay.
The model I'm flying now is covered with OS film.. I understand that I have to build VP props to be competetive. Current fixed prop model is good for 15+ in minus 8 meter sportshall.
So there's a long way to go I think..
Kindest regards,
Jos
