Title: SPAD Debonair - Reaching for the skies Post by: flying doc on July 17, 2011, 11:46:33 PM Finally managed to finish the Debonair that I started building in Feb 2010. That was even before I had started learning to fly. The project just went on the back burner and was brought back a couple of weeks ago. Here are some photographs. Flying video coming as soon as Raghuveer gets the time to edit it.
Waiting for comments Doc Title: Re: SPAD Debonair - Reaching for the skies Post by: izmile on July 18, 2011, 03:35:46 AM Another feather in your cap! Very nice build... :thumbsup:

Not really. Keeping busy with my (new) baby boy at the moment..

I still have to take a pic similar to yours. the Debonair along with the tiger trainer. Made my Deb a tail drager instead of a nose wheel.
