Cloudbuster Home Page -- http://cloudbustermac.tripod.com/ The Flying Aces Club Home page -- http://www.flyingacesclub.com/ The Flying Aces Moth. A very well designed model. Mine is the original long nosed version, built to the original plan except for my vacuum formed nose plug, and I wrapped the wing, stab, and fuselage with "Spider Wire" fishing line to help fight warps. Covering is Esaki tissue, coated with nitrate dope, then rattle can sprayed with Testor's Ruby Red Metal Flake paint. The model is a few years old now. It has tried to take out a few items in it's path, a motorcycle, a 6"x6" wooden pole, and a light post at the baseball field. I have recovered the fin, and most of the fuselage, but have not needed to repair any of the structure. The flights for this year are with a new prop, with a little more blade area, which also added a little more nose weight. I compensated for this by increasing the angle of incidence of the wing. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. Chris
