AV O,

Beautiful build! I like the deployed flaps and spoilers. I see that you also extended the wingtips.  You put quite a lot of work into this little beauty!  And the decals are also nice; you don't often see Minerve, so excellent choice!  I would offer one note of caution. The top three photos show the aircraft landing backwards on Runway 24! A very difficult feat indeed!

Kind regards,

Dutch
