1:3 scale<br />

Moswey II HB-204<br />

There are different categories of model<br />

builders. Today some of them should<br />

be named just model flyers. They buy<br />

a ready to fly model and start flying.<br />

Opposite to that there are true model<br />

builders who want to build a scale model<br />

exactly as the original. They start first<br />

with studying the history of the machine<br />

they want to reproduce, chase original<br />

drawings or at least a good three view<br />

drawing. The more photos they can<br />

find the better, to replicate even the<br />

least detail. This type of scale model<br />

builder exists in every part of the world.<br />

I did meet some of them on almost all<br />

continents. The average age of these<br />

fellows is around 50 years.<br />

Recently I received some photographs<br />

of the model of the famous Swiss glider<br />

Moswey II prototype from Lukas Schaub,<br />

a Swiss friend of mine. This model in 1:3<br />

scale has been built by Lukas Schaub<br />

and Ruedi Straub.<br />
