A.90 Orlyonok in flight

Roland Sachsenhofer
Yesterday the A.90 Orlyonok thundered in front, here are a couple of pictures of this event! 🙂 I added a few things to the kit, such as the prominent framework in front of the cockpit, which I built "on sight" with suitable wire. I haven't been able to find out what it's for - aerials, windscreen wipers/cleaning? - but I know that it contributes quite prominently to the appearance. I also added the various aerials on the fuselage and engine.
Thanks again for the hint about the 'ironed' water behind and under the engine, that was an important tip and came in time, thanks to Robert!

Did you use magnets to make it float?

Thank you very much mates! In fact, the A.90 'floats' on two fine metal rods; I apologise for taking the freedom to wipe them away with the image processing.
