Hi Mary, Once again, many thanks for the ongoing work you do - I can imagine downloads may have been at an all time high during the pandemic which is one possible positive outcome from the saga! As you'll see, I've attached some pictures of my recently completed Gollywock [main pic, 005-008] to help brighten up the page for plan no oz6653. Incidentally, I suspect the two models pictured on this plan page are in fact the narrow chord version Gollywock II (oz1480) - but I may be incorrect! My model flies exceptionally well, built pretty much as per plan. For anyone planning to build this model I would suggest that you keep the tail as light as you possibly can to minimise the required nose weight. I built-up the vertical fin to save some weight and still needed a considerable amount of nose weight. You may even consider adding some strength to the nose instead of just adding 'dead weight' to reach the correct CG position. Don't let this put you off though, it is an absolutely stunning classic model and highly recommended to anyone looking for a simple to build and trim high performance sport model. Best Regards,

Hi Matt, you’ve made a lovely job of that Gollywock.

Allow me to echo your words, Colin :-) II find that propeller especially attractive, both in geometry and colour finish.

Hi again, here’s a photo of my newly finished Gollywock [pic 009], just waiting for a calm day to trim it out.
