Oh, if your P.1216 is in competition, Thor, no-one will participate :(  , not a chance to win :( and be over such a marvel...  :) Well, let us say like the creator of modern Olympic games: "the important is not to win, just to participate and enjoy..." :)

I... I will participate... Impossible to win of course with such marvels :wub:  coming (Bronco-Cobra autogyro?), but I will. Just to deserve fully admiring this flight of twin-tail birds, too much beautiful to exist, I thought. Plastic is filling the gap between Dream and Reality, and I may avoid the psychiatric asylum... Thanks to my savers. :)

Todd my mate that Cobra/Bronco combo is SWEEEEEET!

So are you calling it a Bronbra or a Coco?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:


I forsee that your Coco will be RCAF, yes?

uh...forgot all about that one......but now I know my back-story ! Fairey use surplus Whirl-A-Twins post war to do wind tunnel tests on their troop-carrying VSTOLer, which leads to flying models, and ultimately, the Broncobra !

:wub:

Thanks Martin !

Now, I'd better hurry up and write this down before the Admin. deletes it !
