Mode Zero

Some shots of a Vic Smeed Bimbo I made in 2014-ish. Derided by many as pig ugly, I took pity on the poor little things and I think it has a certain angular charm. Such an easy build. It's gone now but I will be making a second example soon. It needed a fair bit of lead in the front. The one other example I've seen had the U/C much further forward than this,

Not far off true scale though, have a look at the "LegalEagle" ultralight

This is my (yet to materialize) rendition, also not quite true scale

I can see what you mean. Functional, and purposeful. No fripperies.
I am building another, and my intention is to photograph two in the same place. I know of one other, and I've seen it at both Old Warden and Ponty. It's black with green wings. I think the wing may be off another model too. Can't remember the chap's name who built it.

Stew.

Dave Kay of Oxo-tin S/C fame

Ah, yes. That's the one. That's at least two of us that have built one, apart from Vic himself of course.
