fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 And the last pioneer machine for today, yet another Lilienthal design, a biplane. Also made long ago, but in the same vein. The comments are the same as the ones made in today's related pioneer posts. A tricky multimedia kit, but nice to have a kit of these more arcane designs. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Oh my lord. These just get better an better Moa. An absolutely beautiful little model. Like holding a delicate moth in your hands, as I've done this evening, gently escorting one off the premises. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Yes, another fantastic model. It does indeed look delicate... Will we eventually get to see one representing wax and feathers?? Regards, David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Such a graceful model, and in an 'impossible' scale, too… It's interesting to note the absence of moveable control surfaces. Apparently, Lilienthal just used his body to shift the centre of gravity – a method that was his undoing in his last flight, when he couldn't move his body far enough aft in order to counteract a nose down attitude. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pheonix Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I am familiar with this design but was not so aware of the monoplane version which you have also posted. The delicacy of this model is all too clear - which makes your modelling skill all the more remarkable. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
