Thanks.

Of course, you could scratch it into a turboprop fighter with a bit of plasticard and putty.

I still don't understand how it takes off without ripping the tail off!

I built the Planet kit a while ago    Could be tempted with another as I've a soft spot for B&V 

The Planet one isn't an easy one to find.  I was very lucky to chance on the one I found.

I think I got mine when I first started going to Telford, and you probably pointed me in the direction of it    It's a nice build if memory serves right

The tail was inverted to keep the props from chopping into the tarmac/grass & it had a variable-incidence wing to further reduce the risk of the blades doing a rotary hoe impersonation.
