"The model is basically to plan with the optional fuselage cross bracing and some extra bracing at the wing dihedrals, tail tips and nose. The covering was attached with a UHU glue stick, water shrunk and covered with acrylic lacquer. Awaiting a quiet day for the test flight. This is the first model I have built completely myself from plan. I found the ffscale.co.uk website an invaluable guide." - Alistair O'Connell
"I really enjoyed putting this kit together. For being such an old design it flies extremely well, I got flights of over 8 minutes." - Steven Sagers
"Greetings from Spain. The plane is perfectly running in the sky." - Luis Martinez
"I add electric motor with folding prop and RC for throttle, rudder and elevator. It fly very good. Thank you for this beautiful kit." - Jean-Claude Pesce, France
"Attached are the pictures of my Easy Built Model's "Wakefield". 14 strands, 30" long motor of 3/16" rubber motivates the 18" diameter balsa free wheeling propeller (folding prop is being installed at the time of this writing). It is a very nicely flying model indeed. As you can see, the flying field here in California is rather dry and rough so the landing gear is made of 1/16" wire to make the landings nice and smooth. Thank you for producing this great, interesting model." - Paul Kramosil
Prop shown in this photo was supplied by the builder.
