Good to see the second Blériot from Robert. I was with Pascal and the team that made the Channel Crossing from France to England in the first one. Filming from the escort helicopter for our new DVD soon to be available from Amazon - see the trailer at wings over the channel.com
Roll rate with wing warping is tepid. Bleriotistas trying to fly upside down would push forward since it was impossible to roll inverted. The descent was relatively slow because of all the drag and the recovery was to pull back and hope the wings stayed on. "Inverted" flight was a couple seconds of flight diving at maybe 120 degrees from upright. It was impossible to fly level inverted because of the positive incidence and the under-camber of the airfoil.
wow 21 days build time, too bad there is no video showing the roll rate response to aileron inputs. I'd be interested to see how slow it is. These early planes have tons of clever engineering and craftsmanship to them, love it!

The Bleriot was really the first successful design that most modern aircraft are based on. The Wright machines looked like box kites.

Did this make it through the storm ok? Would love to see it at Oshkosh this year!
