The Acromaster was an aerobatic plane and only one was built and no flaps.

Kenny, can't wait to see it in the air. Great job. Will you will do aerobatics with it?

Blessings
Allen

Hi Allen    The only aerobatics is a barrel role strait up the lines.

I saw Bob Herendeen and Charlie Hillard fly it once.
The number 30 on the tail is the contestant number from the 1970 Worlds. There it was flown by many aerobatic greats after the competition, especially Neil Williams.
Great looking ship, Kenny. Good luck to you and your dad at the Nats.

Kenny, Kenny, Kenny - if you plan to do that barrel roll up the lines, don't be shocked to look for the judges and see them, (at least one of them, anyway,) evacuating the area post-haste!!!!! #^ #^ #^ %^@ %^@ %^@
