Comparisons are always nice, Johan. And it's good to see that there is another person who has taken up the challenge.
Regards, Peter

I think I'll try to meet with this guy again, once I've completed this build. A few pictures of both models together would be nice.

Isn’t there a frame with glass for wind protection, etc? Will you be adding that? I didn’t see one on the other model.

There is a windshield, although I know the Israeli Kolibrie's flew without during summer. The windshield will definitely be added, actually the basic frame work has already been fabricated. The picture below shows the 1:24 windshield left and the 1:48 windshield trial fabrication on the right. I had to discontinue work on the frame once I realised I needed to have the entire main structure to be completed first, before I could finish the canopy's framework.
