Well, if we are talking the Pageant ..... here's my Bristol, 100" span and OS 120 that flew beautifully and also at Scofields right up tpo the point the flying wires on the starboard wing went "ping" ............. and the wing turned vertical ...... and the fuselage turned vertical in the other direction ..... and it was never the same!

Hi Mike, i dont remember this aircraft it looks great, sorry it did look great, when was this. I must have seen most aircraft you have used as earth moving equipment over the years. I guess it was before your beard turned Grey, and i still had hair.
As you are now leading the points score you are going to have to learn to fly a chopper!! and pull something out of the bag at the spring scale day.
I have read somewhere that the last thing a scale aircraft needs are working or as in your case non-working flying wires.
Dave.
