That is just fantastic and I love the attention to detail. Being a former engineer I really like the way he linked the prop to the pedals so it turns as the plane moves. The little details in the cockpit made me smile too especially the 'ground loops' comment!

Bravo to Grandad for doing this and he deserves some of these!
