The Norseman is much modified from the proportions of the Unionville Hobbies kit ........I was told that there were many changes needed to make it look " right ".
The sagging covering is from the heat of the sun, so to prevent this, many of the guys have their planes covered with towels and sheets.

Oh yes it is Craig, in fact the other large plane beside it has a very similar pilot....both models built from the same hangar.....he's a good builder and flyer too !
