That's quite the sight. The prop is variable pitch! My only negative is, if you spend so much time effort and money why not do a full cockpit and canopy?

I think there's always this little boy we have in our heart. Getting a full scale pilot licene, and also progressed to an aerobatic pilot takes a lot of dedication.

We all persued in wealth making (or at least trying to make ends meet in a lot of cases). By the time we have the luxury of going into full scale, the clock might have gone past, and do not have what it takes to progress to flying a Pitts Special.

I for one, will never be able to get to that stage, hence, flying model airplanes, and put put around, and if I can take off and land on the same flight without incident, that's a good day for me.

So I can understand why people go to that extend of flying big scale models, but 86% is to point of being silly, I agree.

After watching that clip, now I have to paint my spinner black.

Best regards,
