Scale 50% Dalotel 165

It is a tragedy ... :(
yes it is, because the airplane had been sitting in a warehouse in England for more then 10 years before he bought it . And many times people who purchase things like this have no idea how much work is to be done, I fear it will never be done,
If I had the money, since I have all of Michel Dalotel's drawings, I would build a full size one, but you know that cost a lot of money lol
 
Between working on the brakes, the voice control, etc. I still need to do some work on the actual airplane LOL so today I started on the wing tip and sized up the spar joiner which will be in the fuselage of course

If the owner of Dalotel decide to sell it, then I will move it to redeem the property !
Roger, the making of a 50% model is a beautiful tribute to Michel Dalotel and his plane .
Furthermore, you have purchased or plans , I am interested to buy them too?

To purchase the plans, call the museum curator at the Toulouse museum, they have it on a DVD
 
installed a small lip at the wing tip, , will need this for the flush mount of the 1/32 plywood, also trial fitting the the aileron before covering the aileron, to make sure I can reach every thing once covered,
