Kit: Unknown (1:4)
To make a long story short, a man in England started this 1:4 scale radio-control SE5a but passed away before finishing it. His brother-in-law had to help settle the estate and find a good home for this model. The brother-in-law knew nothing about airplanes and was searching the internet to identify what type of plane it was. He contacted me by email after coming across my photos of an SE5a on a website. After many emails back and forth we agreed to split the freight and he crated it and shipped it to me. The intention was for me to finish it after I was done with the Salmson. Neither of us dreamed it would be another two years before I finished the Salmson. I've never worked with a big R/C model like this, so I'm at a loss to know what to do with it. There are no drawings, no wheels, no prop ... only what you see in the photo. I do have quite a bit of reference material and a fondness for SE5a's. Suggestions would be welcome.
