Now that the photos are up to date, I will try to keep the build, up to date here as well.

If anyone has any questions, I will be glad to discuss anything, the more we discuss, the more I learn...

For those who might not already know, the full size Dalotel was designed and built as a aerobatic trainer, Michel Dalotel wanted to have it in limited production for aerobatic schools, unfortunately, it was not to be. So there was only one ever built , first flew in 1969, later it was sold to someone in England and eventually stored away where it deteriorated , until someone from Alaska purchased it and is restoring it.



It was made famous by Hanno Pretner at the 1980 TOC where he won first place with it.

Awesome build with some really unique techniques. I will be following this closely to see what I can learn for my own builds! Thanks for sharing.

being patient is very relative, for instance if I need to repair something in the house, either wood, electric, or plumbing, this will try my patient but building this, I don't need patience,



When its a passion, then who needs patience LOL
