14 MEYER LITTLE TOOT
George Meyer's captivating little sport biplane has been a
recurring modeller's favourite ever since it first appeared in the
mid 1950s. Phillip Kent presents his 65" (1651mm) wingspan
1:3.5 scale version, designed for 1.80 cu.in. four stroke engines
or similar

26 LITTLE TOOT IN DETAIL
No chance of getting an ‘In Detail’ close-up of a Little Toot, so
this is an ‘In Detail In Reverse’ that actually depicts Sergei
Khril’s 1:2.5 model, so good that it is just as representative of
the full size.
