The Foster Wikner Wicko was a pre war light aeroplane of exceptional quality for its time,the prototype was built by craftsmen at Lustys Furniture factory from grade A aircraft quality spruce and plywood,powered with a Gipsy Major inline air cooled engine.
My scratch built model very much follows the construction of the original,lets clear the bench and make a start.
Mark out the tail surfaces.
My own reference painting of the Wicko monoplane.
Thanks to Stephen Wilkinson for gifting the vintage plan used as a basis for construction.
The Wicko when under my care at Baginton in 1962,a tiny portion of ply from the real aeroplane has been incorporated into the structure.
