Just wish there was an extant Python Wyvern left. Would have loved to see one flying.

I've fired a M-16 a bunch, bad recoil isn't one of it's traits. About the only service rifle of it's era that had softer recoil might be the M1 Carbine.

I was referring to his reading "M-16" as "M-61", and replying to that. Having qualified expert on the M-16A1 in the USAF, I'm quite aware of its relatively docile handling.

Yeah. The only survivor is the Eagle piston engined version at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton, England.

Seen it many times, and each time I wish it had a younger brother to play with.

A new Group Build?

A new Group Build?

Don't think this should be a "group " build. Thinking that's a little more one on one build, er private build. Just saying!

 

[special ed]

As a flying model airplane, if flies very well and, aside from the ugly, has sound aerodynamics.

 

[SaparotRob]

We know, but it's fun to descend to childish taunting over a defenseless object in these troubling times.
