Maybe you're right.. I had only two Talair Twotter pics and I couldnt read the rego on either of 'em. Thing is there is so much wrong with this model the shortcomings you noted pale into insignificance... I really stuffed this one, not a good quality build or paint job..its a long story.. besides the paint job the thing that I find annoying is the unfeathered props..I was too lazy to modify them.
I have another kit to do a better job next time.. I am treating this one as a practise run)
If anyone has more pics of this era Talair Twotters (or any other type for that matter) let me have 'em!
