Bluecor Antoinette

While looking around in "Scale Aircraft Drawings" from the publishers of Model Airplane News, I saw the 1908 Aintoinette. I thought " made to order for bluecor foam ", but then most things I see now say that. It has a real different look. You can see the real thing here.

I thought it might not fly very well because of the looooong tail ect, but hey it flies OK. In fact it flies good. I made the wing rubber band on because it is so big it is hard to move around.
