Bowden Low Wing Monoplane



From the YouTube site

This is a radio-controlled replica of one of Colonel C E Bowden's famous early model aircraft. Built in 1994/95 by Peter Scott, the 8-foot wing span model is powered by a Stebro 10cc 4-stroke engine (converted Merco 61). It has rudder/elevator/engine controls. This video (filmed by Richard Scott) is of the first flight, "somewhere in Hampshire" in Summer 1995. To see the archive movie of the Colonel in action with his 'Kanga' biplane, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr-lrvDQ2C0
