1912 Blackburn Type D monoplane

Attached is a picture of my most recent RC model airplane design, of the 1912 Blackburn Type D monoplane. I drew the plans with TurboCAD, and based the design off three views and pictures of the Blackburn from the internet.

The Blackburn is a very easy build, and uses common construction materials of balsa and plywood. The wings insert into metal tubes for easy assembly at your flying location.
I have a good video of the Blackburn flying on YouTube:

Very nice plane, excellent job indeed! I hope I put the right video in to the post, let me know if it's not the one!
A very nice slow flyer, I like it a lot.
