Sure you could buy the L-29, but could you afford to put fuel in it?!?!?!

I've got a friend that built an S-51...... I can say this, there is a LOT of work left on this thing. If you really want one, I'd suggest considering one that is already flying.......

It is bad enough they let "THOSE" airplanes advertise in the WARBIRD section of BARNSTORMERS. But now they have invaded real warbird conversation?

$30K worth of fuel is a lot...

For me, flying is the thing.

Whether it is the real thing, or a 7/10 scale, if it flies, it is ok with me.

So, what do you own and what do you fly? Pictures would be nice. : )

I don't think it meets the minimum weight requirements, does it?

Say what you want, but you can't deny this thing would be a kick in the pants to fly!
