Good morning
It's been a long time since I posted anything and now I'm back with this "thing". :mrgreen:
I have read Jules Verne since my childhood and discovered this mythical ship, which is described and drawn in the illustrations of the novel "Robur the Conqueror."
Robur, construction engineer of the Albatros, was also the engineer of "Espanto" (Owner of the World, a novel where this character makes his first appearance) and also of the "Nautilus", since Robur was none other than... Captain Nemo.
The Albatros sailed through the sea and through the air, with electricity, like all the inventions of Robur/Nemo, an advance in the fight against Climate Change already in the 19th century or also CC (Complete Camelot).
The cutout, designed without a computer by Ladislav Badalec (recently died at age 91), is highly accurate, but suffers from a defect.
The famous "Oblique Rudder" that sparked such great debate in this forum when I was young.
There is a cardan joint and a shaft missing from the tail rudder, otherwise it would not be able to rotate, but I leave it with Ladislav's original design R.I.P.
Best regards
