7.19.09:
This video of the Chilton in flight was taken by Ron Gosselin at the FAC non-NATS in
July, 09. This is a 30 sec trim flight. After several broken motors, I was getting the plane to fly in the 45-50 sec range
on a 16" double loop of 1/8" Tan II - braided.
thanks, Ron.

This is a photo of the Chilton DW.1 I built back in July '05. It is
16" span, and built from plans by Clive Gamble. It was a good flyer, but eventualy got damaged and I no longer have it.
I've decided to build a second Chilton with a larger span - 20", and use
a documented color scheme, instead of the one I made up on the first version. I'm using the same plans, and the size
should be large enough to make a good flyer without having to do too many structural changes to the plan.
Stay tuned for progress reports.
