Hey Mick

I know of one, but much smaller!
But the plan can certainly be enlarged.
Alfred Bellec did one for a French Magazine a while back.
I have his contact details if you need them or can't find anything on the internet :)
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!
