English Electric Wren

6,685 corsair013  7.2 years ago

A 1:1 scale of a funny design I came across on Google. I thought it was a simple design for a quick build, BOY WAS I WRONG. The power placement was hell, and it took me 2 days to finish. So much for a quick build :I Anyway, this is a real design built in 1923 for some sort of competition. Only one remains, and thankfully, it is airworthy. (very unique)
