Sorry that am late to the party on this RS….[emoji849]
Yeah, it had to be one of the most beautiful ones I’ve seen. In my mind, it’s a functional flying piece of art. Aside from war birds, this it neck n neck with the Constellation. Its design, lines and sound are completely in a league of their own. Her at KPVF, we have Ragtime Aero run by Rick Atkins. He work on the classics are off the chart. He was featured in the Smithsonian a few years back and has even built some things for Kermit. There is a waiting list to get stuff into his shop, like years…. Super nice guy and does everything solo.
BTW, not sure if this IG link will work, but I saw this and immediately thought of “what would RS think if he saw this?!?!?” I see shards of fabric being ripped off as they pour the beans to it. It reminded me of a home built I saw for sale years ago in the pits at Reno. An old wood n fiberglass (sketchy build quality) with a PT-6 attached to the front. “Needs flight test” was on the bottom of the advert.
