If it were an Australian aircraft and had "Stroppy!" painted on the side you'd take it as a warning - "I'm a cranky bastard, stay away from me" Not that I'm suggesting that's what the German pilot intended - though the meanings we've seen leave it as a *slight* possibility.

That was me who got the old Guillows N.11 on Ebay for $7. I had been interested in one for a while, and the going rate seemed to be about $17. Then I found out about the new laser cut kits. I started looking a little more often, figuring I'd see the prices on the old ones start to drop. So I've got the kit, and now I need to decide what to do with it.... As a teen, I built several of the Guillows and Sterling kits. I know that Guillow kits have heavy construction with less than ideal balsa, and generally tend to be a bit heavy for good flight performance. The highlight of those days was winning a first place trophy in rubber scale with a Guillows DH-4. I've been on this WW1 aircraft kick for a couple of years, building 1/72 scale models I can make into mobiles to hang in the office. Some of my searches on ebay for WW1 kits would bring up hits for stick and tissue models, and I got interested in them again. My first ever stick and tissue model was the Guillow 18" SPAD. I've observed that the 12 models in the 18" span series seem to regularly go for $20 - $25 on Ebay-- apparently quite a few folks are collected the them. (I'm really tempted sometimes, but that's really more $ than I want to put into kits.) Still there have been the occasional deal I couldn't pass up on Ebay, and I now have the big Guillow 28" Camel, the old 24" span Comet SE5a, and the new Sterling by Estes SE5a, to go with my N.11. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with any of these kits. I'm toying with the idea of building the N.11 as an electric powered free flight model. The Sterling SE5a, with it's lighter construction and better quality wood couild make a nice parkflyer RC model. I may just build one or more the fun of it, and not really worry about flying... Have you seen any of the DPC models kits? They have an interesting line of models in the 15 to 18 inch span range. Well, that's enough rambling for now.... -Bill > From: "Jim Landon" > To: dfernet0@rosario.gov.ar, wwi@wwi-models.org > Cc: TheGreatLandoni@hotmail.com > Subject: RE: balsa kits > Message-ID: > > Diego forwarded this to me: Somebody said: "I also picked up the Guillow > 24 inch span N.11 for $7 on E-bay" > > What a bargain!

As always I was wearing OSHA-approved safety glasses with side-shields. I got what I thought was dust in my eye, and have experienced mild to really bothersome irritation since then. I went to the doctor today, and guess what? I had a piece of metal imbedded in the old eyeball! I know that this has nothing to do with OT modeling, however I did want to use this post to caution ALL of you. Even with the proper safety appliances, you CAN get hurt. Our eyes and our fingers/hands are the most important tools we posess to practice our hobby. Take care of them! If I had ignored this and kept a stiff upper lip through it all, it could have had serious results. Friends, PLEASE be careful!
