Al Rabe P-51 pic
« on: April 30, 2012, 05:54:10 PM »
My flying / fishing / building partner Tom B. from orlando is almost done with his version of Al Rabe SnaggleTooth. He built it from Al's plans, molded shell /short kit from Tank's, ST .51 w/tounge muffler, and tak made per Als plans.
 Haven't weighed it yet, but it feels a bit heavy.  Tom doesn't care as long as it flies well and does the basic maneuvers. Still needs engine break-in and balance check. A nice job that only took him a year or so-heck, I've got ARFs that are taking me longer ~^.

WOW! Another looker! Looks like a bumper crop of great looking new stunters this year. I hope to see this one on the local contest circuit, maybe the KOI or our Southeast Stunt'n fun in Novemver!
Great job Tom!

Eric,
What are the dates for the Stunt'n Fun? Getting Tom a kitchen pass takes planning, he has 2 boys in Scouts, and Soapbox Derby racing to boot. I will make it to one of them, probably KOI- and both if I'm lucky. I'll kidnap him to ensure he makes it!!
