Not easy to get a stick and tissue model looking as crisp as this - well done/

How does it fly?

To get balsa and tissue to look as good as that requires real skill and patience. Very many congratulations.

Thank you all for the kind words!

It's static for the time being. I would only want to make it RC and do not have any electronics for it at the moment.

Bravo! That's pretty amazing, one of the things I love most about this forum is that we get to see the whole gamut of modeling skills, from old-school stick-and-tissue models to the latest 3D printed wizardry. Beautiful work PP.

Terrific looking flying scale model.
I'd be scared to launch that into the air, far too good to risk a crash!

I've been looking at different balsa kits as a (sometimes) cheaper option with the plan of making a high-quality static build and this is proof it can be done. Beautiful!
