That's superb Jörg, I'm really looking forward to seeing this monster at our Paddler Day.....

You seem to go from one extreme to the other.... From the tiny little models that you showed us last year, to this leviathon! ( I hope that translates into German okay? )

Please keep us informed of your progress, I'm sure a lot of our members will be interested!

Regards
Eddy

I know the Lulonga is huge, but the glider is even bigger!!! I dread to think what wingspan that is!!

There are only 9 weeks to go until the Paddler Day Joerg, so you'll be rushing as much as I am with the Sir William Wallace trying to get the model finished in time!!

My model definitely wont be complete, but it will be sailing - I can add the final detail stuff later.... There's just too much to do, and not enough time :(

Regards
Eddy
