Working on printing and installing my gnarly mouth with eyes for someone.

The 40%er is done, now onto the 35%er.

This is absolutely bad ass. I want me some shark too. Wow.

For whatever reason, I've seen several shark mouths recently...

Hey @Snoopy1,

I'm pretty sure you can still get diaphragms and such for your 120AC.

Hey @WMcNabb

Do you know the story behind the pink P-40? A good friend of mine met the nice lady who used to own the pink P-40 at Oshkosh one year and he asked her about it. She told him that the color was supposed to be desert salmon, but for some reason when the plane was painted, the paint had a crazy reaction with the primer and it turned out pink. He asked her if she was going to redo the plane. She said no, it would be far too expensive to strip and paint again.

Got the plane ready in a couple of hours, took it to the flying field had a blast. Everything went well. Like it enough to modernize it. Install 2.4 radio and replace the servos with digital ones and it will be great. The engine ran great, boy does those old 120 air chamber really put out some power.

I'm glad to hear your YS is running well. Yes, they are very powerful indeed. They will almost turn the same prop as the Saito 180. I love YS engines and have three 120AC's sitting here for future projects. OK, I better change the subject before we get the "slimer" police after us. . . . .

I'd love to see some pics of your Skybolt. . . . . . Speaking of Skybolts, a friend of mine sent me a couple of pictures the other day of Hanno Prettner and his Skybolt at the TOC when they were held near where we live.

Would that be the Skybolt that had the 2 Supertiger 90's geared together?

Worked on the viper again tonight. Got both bottom sides of the stabs done.

Also a little peek at the plane put together

Hey Doug,

According to what my Buddy told me, the big Skybolt was powered by a Tartan twin.
