Richard Alexander has sent us confirmed details of Wingnut Wings’ new Jeannin Stahltaube, along with photos of the magnificent finished build by Zdenko Bugan.
We are pleased to announce that our next new release will be the long awaited Jeannin Stahltaube (1914) initially announced at our stand in Nuremberg in February 2017. The initial bird-like “Taube” (Dove) design was made by Austrian Igo Etrich and successfully took to the air in April 1910. Unfortunately for Etrich he was unable to patent his design which lead to a dizzying array of copycat Taube aircraft being churned out by dozens of German manufacturers. One of the most successful was the Jeannin Stahltaube (Steel Dove) which was operated by the German military. Note that while just about all Taubes appear the same they are in fact significantly different from one another.

Absolutely beautiful, Love the clear doped linen wing. WNW needs some sitting pilots for those of us who would like a crew. I'm a figure person too. perhaps WNW would/could look into the marketability of a 32d scale Curtiss model 'D' pusher. Captn Tommy
