Anyway, impressive what you've done so far, and ambitious what you've set out to do!

yess thats a good one to be put on the list!

Impressive. At this scale Guy is able to include more detail than mine in 1:72, like hollow gun barrels and cockpit parts.

"A bit more progress on the 1:48 Stirling. Engines on, so it is no longer looking like a glider". Guy Massey

I was slightly tempted to try and glide mine across the room at this stage.
ReynoldsSlumber likely can tell us more but my hunch is that it would be quite a good glider with the aspect ratio and incidence angle of the wings.

[ReynoldsSlumber]

Indeed, just stuff a lump of nose weight in there for balance and add a touch of up elevator for trim, and you're good to go. The wing incidence would make @mbauer happy I'm sure!

[yankeekilo]

sure it would fly if the CG is correct

[yankeekilo]

works continues non stop with the Caproni ca.60

[Butelczynski]

You are nuts to make that Caproni

That rigging and wing supports look like an absolute nighmare to design, nevermind to build.
