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?

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. : )

Saludos,


Tulio

If anything, it would make a good unlimited racer at Reno.
