Webby M. B. - 5 .
« on: June 15, 2022, 12:21:45 AM »
Kim Webbys Martin Baker M. B. 5 . purloined from the Kiwi facebook page . https://www.facebook.com/groups/2066103873486692/ Adrian Hamilton . even . Maybe 2002 ? .









KICKBACK .









So it does have two sides .  S?P Funny was recolecting asking of it , Kim , " It had a trimming issue " " With the diheadral Wing ? " . a few decades back . Only finaly saw a picture of it
a few years back . Never ' in the flesh '. SO . Ere it Is ! . in vivid tecnocolour . Mightve been OS max 50 or MOKI 51 ? ? ? .

Kim did the CAP 21 published in Flying Models . Generally his workmanship is meticulous .







A Full Circle !  %^@ maybe the kiwi's will chip i , on this . Dunno if there wasnt some U Tube with it at a comp ? at Taupo ? . maybe .

Many would be more familiar with his kiwi fruit Aeotearoa .
