Welcome! Very nice fleet! I love the Golden Age airplanes.

This is my scratch build I designed to look like a Golden Age Racer. I was hoping to maiden it Sunday, but the weather doesn't look good.

Good job on the scratch build! Its got a fuselage like the R-3 where it gets real tight at the canopy. Looks like it'll be fast. What engine you put in it?
Whats the wingspan?

The span is around 88", I changed the wing tips mid project, and never actually measured the final span. It's powered by a DA50 with a tuned pipe enclosed in the fuselage.

Thanks Wade.
I had another one but lost it, due to structural failure...due to the pilot forgetting that a plane has a limited ability to carry copious amounts of smoke oil!
2nd flight after the $2,000.00 paint job!

Is That plane or I should say kit from AMR. Looks good and paint job looks reel good. Welcome to the site you have a few good looking planes.

Hi Snoopy1, thanks for the greeting.
The C-188 Ag wagon is a ARF from Nitroplanes. Got it several years ago. The yellow and white is the paint that came with the plane. Fiberglass fuselage. I had the "real flames" custom painted.

My mistake!...Correction!...I got it from EasyTiger planes. Wouldnt buy from them again.

Ok, so what you see on the inside is 2 (40 oz..=80 oz total) smoke oil tanks on each side of the fuel tank (60 oz). I started off with an Evolution 7 cyl 160cc Radial but it didnt have enough power for that big (and heavy) plane so I put a DLE-170 on it. Second flight after I had the $2,000.00 real flame paint job the wings just folded...about $7K gone! I had it way too heavy. I thought that it really didnt matter how heavy you mad them as long as you put a big enough engine in it...LOL
I never really liked that plane anyway.
