4 1:3 scale Moswey II HB-204 Vincenzo Pedrielli, vincenzopedrielli@gmail.com There are different categories of model builders. Today some of them should be named just model flyers. They buy a ready to fly model and start flying. Opposite to that there are true model builders who want to build a scale model exactly as the original. They start first with studying the history of the machine they want to reproduce, chase original drawings or at least a good three view drawing. The more photos they can find the better, to replicate even the least detail. This type of scale model builder exists in every part of the world. I did meet some of them on almost all continents. The average age of these fellows is around 50 years. Recently I received some photographs of the model of the famous Swiss glider Moswey II prototype from Lukas Schaub, a Swiss friend of mine. This model in 1:3 scale has been built by Lukas Schaub and Ruedi Straub. R/C <strong>Soaring</strong> <strong>Digest</strong>
