A recent thread has got me thinking, again, about a golden age classic done in tube and gusset (or maybe TP style). Something that wouldn't have a lot of tricky bends or too many fittings. It'd have to be simple with a flat wrap windshield etc.

Fairchild_FC-2W.jpg cavm-4887.jpg project-FC2W2-img1.jpg 1/2 scale Fairchild F2

Avro--F-lift-off.jpg IMG_9161.jpg It's pre-WW1 and should probably be done in wood, but the AVRO-F would work well.


Any other ideas on good candidates? ...the world needs more than the current GL and AA offerings.
