vickers wellington.... maybe?

been thinking about next years big build.
i have thought many times about what to build and have a list of three now.
Hawker Fury
Gloster Gladiator
and now the Vickers Wellington

1/4 scale would give a 21ft wingspan :ohmy: :ohmy: just wondering if it would even be possible to do in depron.
will have to see how the meteor turns out when i finish it this year.

anyway, first rough draft of the plans.


will take lots and lots of planning if i go ahead with it.
will have to stop building so many models in order to focus on finishing the meteor and devote some time to the plans for the wellington.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I think that's a bigger span than the full-size Pitts S2! [badass]

t'is! Just googled it -
Certified versions of the compact Pitts are now produced by Aviat in Afton, Wyoming. It is available as an S1 single-seater with an up to 200 hp (150 kW) flat-4 Lycoming engine and a 17 ft 4 in (5.28 m) wingspan, or as an S2 two-seater variant featuring a 260 hp (194 kW) flat-6 Lycoming and a 20 ft (6.1 m) wingspan. Pitts Specials have been equipped with engines of up to 450 hp (338 kW).[1]

As long as you use the Geodetic construction principle I can't see a problem Tony :evil:

Geodetics in Depron ? Sounds like a bit of a challenge to me . I look forward to seeing this

Tidying up the initial drawings a touch while i debate what to do.

A sharply tapered wing with over size ailerons might give a pronounced tip stall and spin.
