The model was built by Pavel Stráník, Brno, Czech Republic, who wrote about his model: The scale model Bleriot XI Monopol in the historical aerobatic design and Adolph Pégoud's marking was originally built as a free electrically driven model, category F4E with a Kenway drive. The driving unit did, however, not have a sufficient power output, and in a similar way also the under-dimensioned motor parameters of the model after reconstruction to the CO2 Gašparín G24 motor. It was only after installation of the driving unit GB32 with one accumulator LiPol 145mAh that the scale model is not only capable of flying, but thanks to the RC equipment also capable of flying in a controlled manner (the Penta receiver, magnetic micro double servo unit MCA3-D, controller MSC 1-145). Technical data of the model: span: 405mm, length: 325mm, surface area: 3.2dm2, flying weight: 28g. Empty airframe weight, without a driving unit, accumulator and RC equipment, was 9g.
The first successful flights encouraged Pavel to complete the model details, such as the Anzani motor, weaving, etc. The model features an excellent design of the control surfaces control system operating with the help of rocker beams and cables through a digital magnetic servo MCA3 - D. The pictures illustrate a beautiful model made by Pavel after its completion.
