THE HORNET AND THE SCOUT

Whenever I see a yellow plastic plane I'm reminded of my Scout 2.

Here's such a plastic plane on the 3D printing platform  Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4783409

The R/C Delta Hornet Owl by OwlPlane.

I've stitched together two of the pictures to make it easy to see; what a sleek neat craft!


By comparison here's my beloved Project SWORD Scout 2, which I adored as a kid.


Any similarity ends there though if any at all! 

The Scout 2, being one of the three smallest SWORD toys, could fit on your palm, whereas the 
Hornet Owl is huge! Have a look at the assembly video on the maker's page. How cool is that!


There's a design video and test flight video too, both on the Thingiverse link at the top.

Have you anything like this?
