Went out with Lloyd, Pegleg Harry and Myself... Lloyd and I have been working on 2 aircraft of his... A scratch built Force One, the green one, and a P-51D Mustang named Short Fuse Sallee...

This plane was unreal... Unreal flight control surfaces...... Fast as hell.....

The green one is just plain sick.... It looks like a stealth and sounds like a freak of nature....

I had my P-39Q Aircobra up on several flights, till I ran outta nitro and NO WIND, and landed in a tree... Damage was slight and repairable...

The Red Baron was kickin ass like always...

Like I said, kickin ass....

ah Short Fuze Sally, a 354th fg bird of the 9thAF. good choice that fg kicked butt during the war and there is hardly a mention of them anywhere. their official fg history is crap

The Mustang is a real beauty.
Yours its too of course but it was better before you ran outta juice remind me not to go flying with you Les if you get a PPL.

I was pushing too many RPM's in my 14 minutes of airtime... I wouldnt have crashed if there was a nice headwind, but the wind was nil.... I made a turn around to land her, but i lost aileron control and stalled out into the tree.......

Not the first time ive crashed........

By the By dont change yer sig Les its the best yet by far as it really means something special having a tribute to your mates like that.

 

[Nonskimmer]

The Mustang really does look cool. Your P-39 too, except for the ding to the wing.

Authentic looking battle damage and repair!

 

[lesofprimus]

LOL Battle damage...... Balsa wood aint exactly the strongest substance known to man..... The P-51 is sweet. The whole kit from start to finish was great.... No problems or glitches....... Took forever though , Hehe..

Thanks track....
