Hello everybody.
She sails ! There was a meeting yesterday at Luisant (West of Chartes) and I took my Half Devil for a test run. I made somes test during lunch, the only time during which fast models were allowed, but there there were nobody to hold the camera. Several other model makers who have seen my test asked me to do it again but, unfortunately, le pond was crowded as you will see on the video, so I could not run at the fastest possible speed.

The top speed is at least 3 times the one that can be seen on this vidéo.
Still on the "To do list" :
- make a life jacket,
- find a way to stick the helmet chin strap
- make a fake engine and tank (the last to contain oïl to lubricate the flexible)
