I guess not may people fly scale, or if they do only glass models and not retro. It can take a lot of work to make a retro model, sure you know yourself.

Ron:
Does a Slingsby Skylark 4 (Type 50) count as retro?



Not sure if they still produce them.

Stephan:
Hi
the first flight of the Skylark 4 Type 50 was February 1962, therefore it is out of the Rétroplane rules which is fixed at "older than 1960"
Cheers
Stephan

Fred:
Hi Ron,

You are building a Skylark ?  :D

Unfortunately, as Stephan said, the rule say that the "age" limit for a glider to enter Retroplane is 1960  :(

After this date, gliders are not considered as "Retro".

Fred

Ron:
Yep, just about to start.
(See separate post.)

But surely, here in West Cork, time goes much slower than elsewhere, so really 1962 (thanks Stephan) was more like 1956....
No I didn't think that would work.
Worth a try though :lol:

Just have to build something else as well.
What am I saying...? :shock:

Ron
