Everybody seems to prefer old #77 compared to #79.
Personally I like them both, but #79 seemed to represent a 'more American' look, closer to the style of Mike and Miss Los Angeles - an out-and-out racing aeroplane. Somehow #77 seems more 'watered down', and there is a more 'British' look about it.
Gary, the Miles & Attwood Special has a very similar specification to that of the Cleveland, but retro-fiited with a radial........I think perhaps something like the Weddel Williams series would work better, for sleek looks with manageable proportions.
Either way, the wire-braced monoplane wing has several attractions, and the steel tube fuselage is a sensible choice. Vic, the wings are attached to very short underslung carry-thro's on the wooden fuselage of the last version (#79) and this is a very simple structural feature, incorporating the undercarriage fittings, of course.
I will have to consider the last iteration of the Cleveland again, by popular choice!
Best wishes,

Hi Chris,
Here's the Walter LOM picture you sent installed in the Cleveland 200.
Cheers,
