    Introduction of Falcomposite Furio builder

    Hedley, Both BJC and TFF suggested checking out the Falco drawings - excellent idea. The plans were offered online free when Sequoia closed up shop, but if you're not able to find and download a set of the exceptionally detailed drawings, I think I've got a complete set of the hard drawings...

    Warbird Replicas 75% F4U

    There was a lot of progress on Corsair82 in the early years, from what could be seen during a visit to Tony's shop in mid-2001, but other than the litigation over the landing gear, what's been done since? The Corsair82 website hasn't been updated in a decade.

    Best looking T-51 Mustang!

    What a lousy attitude. I'm sure the FAA folks would enjoy reading your post. It's builders with this type of attitude that eventually force an FAA crackdown. As DT woud say, "Sad."

    Berkut Performance

    Yes, indeed. The Berkut drawings feature airfoils virtually identical to those found on the LongEZ drawings - the difference being minor errors in draftsmanship, the inking in the ribs, and secondly, one aircraft's ribs are aligned on the TE of the wing, and the other's on the LE. Other minor...

    Which Scale P-51?

    Yes. Enjoy your airplane. Pat yourself on the back. It's really quite an accomplishment. For real. You've already done more than 99% of Warbird wannabes, including myself. Just don't kid yourself, and just don't try to kid us that it's the real 12000 lb, Merlin engined monster.

    Which Scale P-51?

    No, it's not a fake. Sorry, It's a real homebuilt/experimental, P-51 Wannabe. It's real. It's just not an actual North American P-51D Mustang. And it never will be. Regardless of the bucks you pour into it, or the imitation ordnance you hang on it, it will forever remain a real Titan...

    Which Scale P-51?

    Tex, We appreciate your enthusiasm and boundless hype for the Titan Mustang. We really do appreciate the hi-dollar replica you're building. It is a beautiful replica. It's a terrific homebuilt, (I'm envious), but please do not blur the line between what it is, a sub-scale replica of the P-51 and...

    Bombs Away!

    Are you going to be parked in the Replica Fighters area or among the regular Warbirds? Would love to see you parked in the regular warbird area tucked between a couple of Mustangs.

    Bombs Away!

    Outstandig work. Beautiful. The amount of talent and money poured into your mini-Mustang is most impressive. Without a handy scale reference, it's difficult to tell whether it's a real, full size P-51 or not. However, I shudder at the thought of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that have...
