Acro dash
A five minute job to make a dash panel, is to make loops from copper wire wrapped around a drill bit. Cutting the loops and carefully pushing the "gap" together make a simple bezel. The instruments are commercially available prints |

Acromaster
Bill Moores Acromaster is 90 inch span, quarter scale, original built around 1986 as seen in the pic at the Islet flying field - Initially with a Laser 90 power, he then fitted an ST3000. In 1987 it suffered an almighty prang when someone else flew it.
Rebuilt with ST4500 power early nineties suffered a second prang, built a new one in 1999 with Zenoah 62. It came second in the 2000 winter build beaten by my Spitfire. Still flying superbly with over 30 hours on the clock.

Gee Bee
Terrys' GeeBee model E from the Mike Smart Designs plan. 75 in span powered by a laser 150 four stroke engine. This was in the days before I went clean and quiet with electric. The model flew really well without any vices, but was an absolute swine to land. More often than not it nosed over and bounced on the fin. The dummy radial engine up front, that took quite a lot of time and effort, did not last long!!
