Video: Excellent Flying RC Model Of The WWII Era Miles M.39B by Martt
I've been blessed with a lifetime of exposure to aircraft from all over the aviation landscape, but in my effort to generate interesting content for AirPigz, I continually come across airplanes I never knew existed. For example, this British Miles M.39B Libellula.

The M.39B as shown above was really a 5/8 scale proof of concept aircraft for what was meant to be a good sized bomber. The M.35 first flew in 1942, and the M.39B made its first flight in 1943, but neither aircraft progressed beyond these two prototypes. ...
