Ah, then you are not correct!

Actually my source may be wrong! I have it as the "Nieuport IV G Hydro monoplane"

Therefore you have control!!!!!

Still looks good mate! You sure can't beat felt-tips
Why so quiet your end mate? Exam time at the College of Aeronautics and you gotta watch for cheats?

The challenge...American?

Evening mate.

I have been on leave all week and daughter has been to stay, that's why I have been quiet.

The challenge was American, circa 1979 I believe. Very few built as it was thought the design was flawed both in terms of structural integrity and aerodynamic stability.

One went to Queensland!

Purchased as a kit for home building.

Are you kidding?! Few bottles of wine, put your mouth into 5th gear and it'll be done in a week!

Is it the "Polliwagen" from Joseph Alveraz?
