MÍRA 3 - 1924

[kocour]

It looks very nice, but I remember, that an original flew only several minutes before the crash. I wish your glider a better fate.

I wish too I like challenge, it was the same thing with the triplan Clément, the full size flew 50s, and mine flew more

[valajda]

Excellent work, I admire it. But for my flying I prefer models I don´t worry to destroy them. Retroplane rules don´t like an engine in the nose and Oracover !

[VincentB]

Left arm and legs are finished, the boots in lead will move with the rudder

Vous avez un rythme meurtrier.

Great job, I´ve never seen this plane, but It´s very original idea to build this type of historic glider. I look forwad to your next photo of building.
