Very nice! :) . Isn't it a bother when they won't come down :lol: :P

A novel (& clever :ugeek: ) solution to fitting controls to an old design without altering the appearance, especially with the twin fins & dihedral tail plane. May we have a few closeup pics to see more details please?
Cheers,

Its a chap called John Woodfield - he also has a Leprechaun and a brilliant glider-ized Lazy Bee too.
Its based on the "Big Lazy Bee" which is a 6-foot, 150% enlargement of the original with the 48" wing option. It can be seen towards the end of the Invader video (at 1:21), and featured here:
