[WWI] Added:Bristol F2b with Low Aspect Ratio Wing

[Steve Cox]

Thanks for all the kind words, but neither are particularly high standard.
There¹s nothing in the cockpits, and there¹s no rigging or control wires.
The wings are probably OK in outline but I doubt the sections are correct.
The pictures are all taken to emphasize the areas I¹m pleased with, and hide
the bad bits. But they were fun to do, and I like things that are a bit out
of the ordinary

The brief description with the source photos doesn¹t give any indication of
the relative performance of the different ratios. I assume that neither
offered a significant advantage over the standard wings, since the standard
wings were kept for another decade till the F2bs were retired.
regards
Steve

Another model to your usual high standard, Steve.  And this one is a lot
prettier than the HAR version.  It's amazing how one kite can look right and
another just looks all wrong.  The HAR was, for me, heading in the latter
direction.
