Seems to be a very tough construction two crashes survived with just small damage. Anyway great plane. The crashes seemed to be caused by a center of gravity problem. I guess almost any plane flies more or less if it is nose-heavy which means if you try to balance it in the front third of the wing it should still nose down a bit. Did you do any tests like that? Or was it a problem of a wrong angle between main-wing and tail-wing?
Looked to me like the CG was to far behind the center of lift causing it to porpoise on the first attempts. Good thing it was well constructed to survive though the tail looks like it could have been tweaked a little. The full scale Bleriots were so over-cambered and underpowered many a brave man (and at least one woman) drilled their self into the ground attempting to simply turn them!
Bravo au constructeur et au pilote. Un vol très réaliste avec un bruit bien sympathique !!
That is a tough plan. I like watching these Bleriots. 🇦🇺
Great reenactment right down to crashing just like the original!
Bonjour, magnifique réalisation ; Pouvez-me dire d'où provient le plan ? Merci.

Hola este ejemplar es a imagen del primer avión en hacer vuelo internacional argentina , uruguay
Why is the forward section of the tail plane pointing down I would have thoght that it should have been horizontal

The plane needs a... Pilot *
