Nice shots. That reminds me of the Dodo from Grand Theft Auto 3. ;D

Hmmm It's not the Sky Mini, but the Sky Baby. Just a little correction! ;D

Nice shots! :)

Wasn't the Sky Baby a bi-plane? This one is actually a monoplane version of the sky baby, and was named the Sky Mini.

Clipper's right. This designer offers both variants. It's a fun model; seeing a real (teeny-tiny!!) Sky Baby at the EAA Museum got me thinking it'd be a blast to fly...

Lemoncat, I share your sentiments about heavies. I'm much more comfortable with small civil props. Much easier to compose and manouver. I think, though, for the contest, any passenger carrying craft is eligible, not neccesarily heavies. Looking forward to your post. There has been a large number of excellent posts in this month's contest. I've been racking my brains, and my pc to capture something unique and competitive. So far only frustration. But that's all part of the fun!

Sorry clipper, I guess I didn't look hard enough. I was thinking that was the same one thats at the EAA Meuseum, which is the Sky Baby. Sorry. ::)
